Titanium grille

[tomwac]

I'm looking for the partnumbers for a titanium left and right grille, air intake. I'm talking about the one on the hood near the windshield, where the windshieldsprays are installed. I can see it on the X5 parts brochure, but cannot find it on the online parts catalog. It's for an 2001, btw....Thanks. Any help very appreciated.

You probably have to DIY. I tried to find it but could not find them for 01. I used spray paint to fix it.

I think you may have to paint the hood air intake yourself.

That was what I meant. Louver. Thanks for clearing that up, Jeff. I also received titanium trim today, but I have not looked at them yet. I used your suggested method number 2. Thank you for good advices.

Did you just spray paint them, or did you do some priming etc... first? When just sprayed, does the paint hold ok ? Also, did you find a color that matches the titan grills ? Thanks a lot.

Thanks Jeff...I already have these two parts, but the air intakes on the hood don't match too well when they are black...I guess I'll have to get a can of spray and do it myself

I did not prime it, but it may be a good idea. It holds up pretty good after 6 months.
