I used Betalink when I installed my trunk spoiler, it is an OEM BMW adhesive. But a few warnings about Betalink.
1. It is messy as hell, if you get it in unwanted areas of your paint, be prepared to spend hours trying to get it off. (Make sure you have someone helping you hold the spoiler in place)
2. It is permanent, so once you install and it dries consider it a part of your car.
3. Did I mention it is messy and a pain in the ass if you don't have someone helping?

looks great, its good to see someone else stepping away from the matte finish. i have these gloss ones on my silvergrey e60 and it really helps the contracst "pop" well. the gloss finish is very sleek, yet aggressive!
Other than my car, ive never seen a car in my area with gloss grills!
I purchased mine off ebay motors..
great seller from my experience!

Thanks John. The black gloss added a little pop to the front end. I purchased the grilles through GetBmwParts.Com for $136.62 shipped. Not too bad. The next time I'm in LA, I'll let you know and we'll have a great time.

I had the black matte grilles on my last car, so this time I decided to try something a little different. With the M package there's not a lot that needs to be done.
