BMW Colors - Grille Clips

Hi,

I've searched and was wondering if anyone has ever found BMW color grille clips for there 135. I have a 2012 135i with a 12 finned grille, does any know of a place to buy the clip type? I've applied the decal to mine to see if I like the splash of color to my all Black car which I do but it's enclosing the entire fin just the very front edge, I would like a little more color. Here is what I'm looking for...

But this is for an 8 finned grille so this item is wider than I need. Thanks!

Why not just replace the entire grill?

I literally just (5 mins ago) put the decals on my gloss black grille. I like them better than the slip ons/painted option because they're much more subtle.

That's what is did to mine.... it is subtle. I was interested in what it looks like with a broader stripe.

I think painted is superior to clips:
