s35i kidney grills

[ihadablackdog]

Hi,

I'm returning to the forum (with a new name) after a 4 year absence as I had to sell my first e89 back in 2014. I've now got another one (sdrive 20i), quite similar to the old one. Picture shows the car covered in snow the day after I got it!

What I want to know is this: are the kidney grills on a 35i chrome or satin finish, and are they silver or grey? I'm thinking of changing mine to either black or similar to the 35i ones. Next question - where can I get them from? eBay seems to be black or chrome.

These are my grills on a 35is?

Yes, those! What colour are they, silver or light grey and are they glossy or matte? I think they look matte silver?

The centers are matt silver with chrome surrounds.

I took my black out and sprayed them silver, actually aluminium colour.

Thank-you

I took my black out and sprayed them silver, actually aluminium colour.

How have they faired up with stone chips etc?

I have the original oem set I removed from my 35i. I would think about selling them if you need?

Message me if you are interested.

I got lucky and started this thread and have bought Ben's set of grills for a very good price.
