Gloss Black Bonnet Vents for E92

Hey gents

I'm searching for some gloss black bonnet vents it seems as though IND is the only supplier?

May I ask does anyone have a source for these, or a set they'd be willing to sell?



IND quote basically $200 per set shipped down under to australia...

If there's anyone else out there after a set, may be able to buy to get shipping costs down?

Why won't you just get your ones painted in gloss black?

Yes may have to, not too many painters would want to do such a small job, figured there may be some that are readily available? (gloss black indicator housings etc seem easy enough to get but not the bonnet vents)

Hi mate, I looked for them a while back but decided to stick with body coloured for mine. There are a couple of places in the UK that do them, this one uses genuine parts, painted gloss black. Not a whole lot cheaper than the US, maybe ~AU$175 by the time they are shipped Royal Mail > http://www.ssdd-motorsport.com/index...product_id=145. Cheers!

The parts I ordered are free shipping. The hood vent is also free shipping.
So just US exchange rate, which should be around 180AUD..

However they are reps so if you must have the OEM part, will need to get it from another vendor.

good luck with the search

Cheers! Thats the price JBSPEED quoted me on the forum and when i questioned the price he said it had to be shipped from usa (the cf ones were 60 usd cheaper delivered as they come from taiwan by memory)

Might as well get oem if they're cheaper
