My Ride: 520d F10, Sport Auto, Black, sun protection, Oyster/Black with Anthracite, Ambient lighting.

I am going to replace my standard grills (Chrome with black slats) with some all chrome grills. Has anyone fitted none OE grills to an E60 / E61? My car is a LCI E61 in Monaco Blue. The ones I am thinking of getting are here http://www.kudosbmw.co.uk/proddetail.asp?p...w123&cat=39 and cost ?60
The genuine ones are ?120, they seem to have thinner slats? Any advice welcome, not sure if the none OE ones will be a good fit and wear well
Thanks

I would advise against this mod

Personally, I think it's too much chrome.

k44ent - I have an aftermarket one for sale which would cost a lot less than ?60 (shipping included). Let me know if you're interested. It looks exactly like the ones from kudos. the fitment is oem. I recently changed to black-out grilles.
