E89 black grilles?

[jamesgarbett]

Where's the best place to buy these from to get something of decent quality?

I got mine direct from BMW Cotswold

Used plastidip on mine - results were/are absolutely fantastic.

I’ve got some you can have...cost you £10,600 but they do come with a car

Black grilles will look great on a mineral grey

I bought a pair on eBay for US$183 posted. Great quality. The seller goes by partsworld2000. Good luck!

BMW Lloyd Carlisle have them on ebay at £59 per side including p&p. Cheapest OEM ones I have seen for a while.

I will but not for 10 days or so. Mine is off to the detailers on Friday and when it comes back I will be fitting the OEM black grilles which I have just bought.

I bought genuine ones straight from BMW after I tried 2 or 3 sets of the knock-off eBay ones. They don't fit because the clips are the wrong shape and no amount of effort will get them to fit properly. Save the hassle and get genuine ones.

For info - £10.49 for paint. I'm very critical about DIY stuff I do but you would honestly think these were oem.

Which paint did you use? I'm tempted to get a spray can of matt black paint and have a go at this myself after giving them a thorough cleaning. Maybe then a top coat of matt lacquer.

"Full dip" was the brand, is a competitor to Plastidip which a lot of people actually prefer. One can gave me 4 generous coats of both grills.
