Dont plasti anything on the front, will chip and peel. You would be better off painting them but Sterling BMW has the OEM Black Grills for $150 including shipping and these are so easy to remove/replace unlike previous years.

That's a great price. Do you have a link to it? On the website it has a price of $109 for one side.

I plastidipped the grills on my M6 and M3. The M3 has held up fine for two years and the M6 has been decent so far, though it's a garage queen. Plastidip works great as a temporary solution and from a distance but up close you can easily tell they're dipped.

here you go
http://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1387376 Did them myself and a huge thank you to BMW for finally making a grill easy to replace. This is a task anyone can do as it doesnt require any tools. When you open the hood, you see approx 3 tabs at the top for each side. Gently push down on them one at a time and while pushing down, slightly pull the top part of the grill outward, moving your way across. Just get the top free but dont pull it out too much. Once the top is free, then gently pull the the bottom of the grill outward, from one side to the next working your way across. The lower section you will have to use a little more effort. The lower section will pull loose and then slide that grill section out completely. Take the new grill, slide the bottom section in first, lining up the lower tabs, then line up the top tabs so all three go under the plastic cover at the same time and then push it in until you hear the bottom and top all click. Just run your hand around each section at a time so its snug and clicked in place. Seriously, this is a 5 min job. (worst case, if you break the tabs of the grill you are replacing, no worries because thats the worst damage you can do during this process and you are replacing that grill anyway) Every other BMW was much more complicated. I had to remove the top cover, pull out the front bumper cover at the top, wedge my hand in while holding the bumper cover out and work around the approx 8 tabs, all while scraping the hell out of your hand. That was a good 20 min job. |
