Cheapest Black Grilles

G328i · 07-31-2009, 05:43 PM

Where is the cheapest place to find some black grilles for my E90? I have seen them go for around $50 on ebay, but is there anywhere where they would cost less? Im guessing no, but I might as well ask before I buy

This really should be in the costmetics section. That aside, just take them off and sand them and use a quality paint like SEM and you'll be fine. That's what I did with my grilles and window trim and it's been well over a year with no chips.

Care to share some details on how to do the window trim? Did you remove it first?

The OEM glossy black grills look great, are a perfect fit and are inexpensive - $100-150 from Tischer.

My buddy, who owns a body shop, did it for me but yeah. He removed the trim first, sanded, painted. No issues after a year and a half and 20k miles.

I'm scared to remove the trim.
