Black Kidney Grills

Davhod · 04-13-2016, 05:12 PM

Hi chaps, another question! (Maybe after I have had mine a while I can start answering some!) I am going to replace the chrome grill, can I just buy the surround and reuse the slats? A video on YouTube seems to suggest this. Am I just being tight? Should I buy from BMW?

This is correct you can just replace the surrounds.

is this available in the UK?

You just need to by the black grilles for the 4 series as they are half the price, then simply swap the slats as mentioned. It's what I am planning to do when mine arrives. The video on my thread or if you search IND videos for how to swap grilles it looks very simple. :-)

Buy these if you need them, they will be spotless I bet. If I hadn't ordered the CP I would have got these.

Fitted them today and they look fantastic!
