Read the descriptions very carefully.
I have heard that some traders are just selling strips of plastic chrome that you cut to size and slide over the black slats.
The plastic chrome strips are of the type that used to be used to cover body joints on older cars. For example the roof to body joint on the original shape Mini's (also the wing beading).
I haven't purchased or seen any of these, so I can't comment on what they look like, just be aware of what you are paying ut for!

has anyone bought the chrome grills off ebay and if so how do they look vs stock grills(shape wise)
It is top quality, relatively easy to fit and much cheaper than the OEM grill - so it's win win win all round for me.

I wouldn't go for the horrible 3/6 series style grill from ebay though which is a stick on affair which fits over the existing grill to give the mustache effect which just doesn't suit the lines of the E60 :thumbsdown: :
