bsjd00 · 06-09-2006, 10:12 AM

I would like to purchase a slimline frame like this to replace my dealer frame:

I notice in the picture that no covers are shown for the screw holes. Does the frame actually come with them? I don't really want screws exposed...

Yes. The black frame has black covers, the chrome frame has chrome covers. Both come with a set of four.

Thanks for the reply! One more quick question - do you think they are quality frames?

siriusinvestor · 06-09-2006, 11:01 AM

I have the chrome on on my front license. It's pretty good quality. I personally think its overpriced though.

i have the black one that says bmw. moved it over from my last bmw before i sold it. agree that it is good quality and a bit pricey.

Agree! Pricey!

SoYank · 06-09-2006, 12:41 PM

At $28.50 they are definitely pricey. But IMO they are better quality than most aftermarket frames that are pretty much potmetal with a .01 micron electroplate that will peel off is six months. I have the black stainless steel without the name. I also have the polished stainless steel marque plate for substitution at meets.

I have the front and rear black ones. High quality but pricey

i prefer the macneil water proof clear frames... much cleaner looking & don't repeat the same bmw emblem which is already exist on the rear deck lid.
