oem gloss black grilles

[cleung]

Hey everyone,

I haven't been able to find any other pics of these grilles anywhere so I thought I would post them. Before deciding to buy them I was trying to find real pictures of the grilles and all I was able to find were bmw's images. Anyways here is a pic, I really like them especially because my x3 is black as well. I have matte black grilles on my 530i and I think these look much sharper compared to the matte black.

Looks great! The BMW Performance Gloss Black grilles always look good!

Thanks. You inspired me to paint my grilles today. I used these:



Here's the final product:



They turned out fantastic. No regrets here :-)

looks great. Make you put enough clear coat on it. I painted the grilles on my old e46 and I didn't put enough clear on it and after a year it was all spotty from stone chips.

I didn't put any clear on. The duplicolor trim paint says its durable enough for bumpers, side mirrors, etc. But we'll see.

It has a nice satin finish though. Kind of in between glossy and flat.

It looks great. Let us know if the trim paint holds up.
