I can't tell from your posts if you're asking about the damage on the exterior of your car...or if the video is referring to you wanting info about the stuff behind the kidney grilles and front bumper.

Since its unclear if you're looking for exterior or the stuff behind the front bumper...here's links to both that may help you help us determine what you're asking:

BTW...if you like the redesigned 9 slat kidney grilles found on the facelift f06/f12/f13...then now would be the time to do that mod. They are a direct replacement…and can give a subtle change in how the front end looks. Most may not even recognize the change but may give pause as those familiar with the front end try to figure out what’s different.

9 slat grille is on top…10 slat grill is on the bottom:

Yes i am talking about the part in between the kidney grill and the radiator. Would that be part number 12 on the link you provided. I saw a lot of people cut those flaps to make the car look more agressive, i am considering the same if i cannot find an replacement.

#12 in the diagram above is the part behind the lower center of the M-bumper.

If you are unsure of the part…if you’re doing this on your own instead of the dealer or an authorized insurer/professional…you should look for the BMW 11 digit (or sometimes the last 7 digit) part number which should be found on each piece.

Think he is talking about the top section..
Air duct front bottom
