E53 front bumper skid plate replicas

On the possible infringement issue: to quote [sort of] the inimitable Admiral Grace Hopper, "Its better to ask forgiveness than permission." I think that applies to this run of 10-20 parts no longer made by bimmer and possibly not protected by law.

I concur. A few dozen or so "skid plates" made for an ardent group of E53 enthusiasts shouldn't posed any infringement risk since this particular part is discontinued and no longer available for sale from BMW.

I'm going to paint my plate silver and also remove and paint the inner grille screen that's mounted just above silver also. Should look sharp!

Question, how should we pay the down payment?

Does he take PayPal by any chance?
