Which black grills.

[baconJazz]

Already decided to fit Matt Black grills on the e86. Question is which ones do I buy ?
On Flea-Bay they are anywhere between £25-80 .
Has anyone here purchased the cheaper ones and if so are they of acceptable quality ?
I don't really want to pay £70-80 for OEM ones. :?

I bought ebay ones. They're fine.

If yours arent a perfect fit only you will notice.

Yep but which ones ? How much did you pay & do you remember the name of the supplier ?
Do I pay 25-35-45 etc too many to look at :? :? :?

Can't remember but knowing me it would have been 'lowest price inc P+P'.

Whatever u pay they prob all come from the same rat-infested factory in downtown Shangkong anyway!
Will probably also reek of cheap chinese cigarette smoke too.

You makes ur choice u pays ur money!

I bought these earlier on this month and i was surprised at how well they fitted. I think I paid £22.50 inc postage.

Perfect fit and sturdy quality. Love the all Matt Black as makes the grilles look a bit larger and more modern...photo attached of them on my Stratus Coupe
