WTB Black Kidney Grill
#1
hi Guys, i want to get a black kidney grill. i know there is plenty of them on ebay and online places anywhere from $30 to $50. I know some of them dont fit right or dont look right on the car. can someone recommend one that fits good and looks good? or have one for sale that fits good and looks good? please be reasonable on the price....thanks to all

to be honest....the only grills that actually look good IMHO are the OEM ones. a set of gloss black ones are like $90 from getbmwparts.com
some vendors sell them as well but nothing looks as good as OEM...ive seen several sets in person. many of them bevel out a bit or dont have the same lines...happy hunting!

the one on ebay looks sucks. do not buy it. i bought it then i ended up painting my OEM grills black. go OEM or just save money and buy a black spray for $6 and spray the chrome thing

Get a can of black Plasti Dip and do it yourself. Just did mine and they look just as good as the OEM black plastic ones. If they end up chipping I'll buy OEM down the road, but for now, 5 bucks is cheaper than the dealer wanted Plus, you can tell your friends you spray painted your BMW

I can sell you my old set, matt black. Has some busted tabs, but it fits just fine and it looked great on my black 2006 M5. I bought them used originally, so the tabs were broken to begin with. I switched to Carbon Fiber grilles last month.
Here is a pic of my car with the black grilles on. How does $35 shipped sound? Let me know. Cheers!
