Kidney Grilles
Decided I want to change the grilles to black on my E87, was wondering if I can buy just the frame in black, instead of the frame & slats, because obviously the slats are already black so no need to have them twice. Thanks!
EDIT: Also would it be clever to just remove the current chrome surround frame and plastidip it black instead of buying a new pair? Last edited by doritos123; 08-09-2014 at 02:06 PM.. |

Just one problem, all the grilles I find on eBay have the 'eyebrow' on the top, I can't seem to find any which are the same as OEM but with a black surround http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E81-E8...item5d4ba810fc |

If you haven't already bought them, take the chrome surround off, rough it up with some red scotch brute, then hit it with a couple coats of flat black. Did mine last night and it came out excellent.
