Cheapest place to get Performance Grills?

Papa13 · 03-10-2009, 02:50 PM

Hey guys, trying to order a set of BMW Performance Grills for my 1er. But, am trying to find the cheapest place to order them. Any input you guys have on where they are the cheapest would be greatly appreciated.

i was on the same boat as you when i was looking to buy mine, i found that LeatherZ had them the cheapest shipped.

EDIT: i'm assuming you want actual BMW Performance pieces right? not another brand?

Word. Matte is cool, but I wanted grills that matched my Shadowline trim.

BSM 135i · 03-10-2009, 04:36 PM

^^I actually started a thread to help me decide on either matte or BMW Performance high gloss and eventually went with high gloss to match my shadowline trim as well.

if you guys want totally cheap and reversible black grills.. go to your local store and buy a spray can of PLASTI-DIP. this shit is rubberized so it wont chip, its really durable and wont flake off like paint...search around people do their wheels with it even.. best part is if your sick of it you can peel and roll it off

that sounds dope, i might buy a can and spray my stocks with them.

fmxomar · 03-10-2009, 05:40 PM

its worth it ... trust me... i vinyled mine and it took hours... i just found out about this stuff search any other bmw or vw forums people are using it for their shadowline trim, wheels, grills, front lips, etc.

the other day my friend sprayed his e30 grills after we read about it... came out great.. totally reversible and cost 5$
