WTB: X3 Fog Light Trim Ring - painted highland green

[smachtley]

I'm looking for a highland green painted "Fog Light Trim Ring" for the passenger (right) side. This is for a 2008 X3.

The unpainted (primed) part number is: 51113423789 -- but I'm hoping to find one that's already painted highland green.

Thanks!

Just buy the primed part and ask the body shop that does the dealer's paint work to spray it. Often times this is like $75 for a mirror cap.

Thanks for the idea. I hadn't thought of taking it somewhere like that. It can be ordered painted but for $130 more than the primed part ($8). I'm still hoping I'll find one used from a parted out car for much less.

I would recommend getting another estimate. The body shop that does all the work for the largest BMW dealer in our area only charges $75 to paint a mirror cap. I think you have have to find a shop that does a lot of BMW work and they may have some left over paint in your color.
