Hey P1 - I agree with you on the kidney grills, but what's your take on the lower bumper grills? I think the plastic that BMW uses on those looks kinda cheap... Just interested in your view...

Where is the best place to find mesh? I want to put it over my exhaust fittings. The oval part. Do hardware stores have it?

I think the lower bumper black grill looks oem!Its a Bmw catalogue option to change it to titanium but the black is more discreet!If its unnoticeable,then it must be ok.

I am professionally connected to the "tuning" world and I see a lot cars spoilt with this aluminium mesh!I always advise customers to paint it black!Its common practise to replace the oem plastic on rectangular grills,but on the kidney grills,it looks pathetic!

A hardware store will have it!Even if you have to order it!Remember to order Aluminium mesh so it wont rust..........
