Hi. Does anyone know what these are called, part number and if it is hard to install without having to dismantle to much?

did you check realoem.com and see if you find the info there?

more than likely, you’ll have to remove the front bumper.

It’s part of the whole front airduct / inlet. I don’t think you can buy these separate.
Those flaps are not 100% necessary but our cold-climate diesels close them to let the motor warm up faster and reduce drag.

If you plan to remove the front bumper, do yourself a favor and order these inserts, when I removed the bumper they were cracked.
