228i Front Bumper Question

I have these on my front bumper and I find them so ugly.

Are these removable?

I believe you can replace those inserts with the inserts sans the silver horizontal accent. And there may actually be a few part #'s for the replacement insert ( one open / one shut - both w/o the silver )

Would you really want to remove from bumper to install or remove fender liner ?

IIRC, I've seen some people looking for these, so if you remove them you might want to post in the classifieds (might have been a euro part, though?). Plastidip or painting that stripe would probably be simpler than replacing them - especially if you need to pull the whole front assembly. I saw pics of s/b who either painted or vinyl wrapped them in the same blue that they used for other accents, looked pretty sharp.

I just vinyl wrapped mine in CF look - they basically disappear on a black car when that is done - i didn't like the silver either
