Seems there are three types:
1.) Stick on chrome plastic pieces cut to size - there seems to be a debate over whether these last or not.
2.) Chrome replacement grills (OEM) - complete unit(s) which swap out with the existing grills. Cost a small fortune from the stealer.
3.) Replacement grills (non OEM) - same as 2.) but typically found on fleabay. Ones I`ve got my eye on are by bavarian_motorwerks but read one thread where they didn't fit a pre-facelift model very well (slightly too small)
Anyone else fitted the ones from bavarian_motorwerks to a pre-facelift model - Do they fit properly?

I got my grills from Bavarien motorwerks(who also supplied me the excellent Aluminium gauge rings)and the quality and fitting is excellent.I was disappointed with my grills and took them off because I bought for "wide look",which was what they were advertising(and so are a lot of other people!),but in fact these grills actually look smaller than my oem black grills.
Btw, the oem Titanium grills are an alternative and are about the same price.
Couple of months have passed now and altough the grills are same size ,I now think they look better and might put them on my X as a Xmas presy!
Have a look at the pictures of my x with the grills in the link below.(mine is the green one on page 2)
