Black Grills
Does anyone know where I can get gloss black kidney grills for my F11 other than directly from BMW?
It works out about £90 to get them both so ideally would like to find them cheaper! Also, is it possible to replace the chrome bits next to the side indicators with gloss black (other than painting them!) |

I would be scared of getting the non-OEM black grills as they could look terrible in the flesh. There are some awful looking cheapo grills out there.

Obviously 5 series owners in the UK don't modify cars the way the seem to in the US as I haven't found any other options and no-one else on here can suggest anyone. |

Just get the OEM black grills for your F10, that way you know you're getting a quality product, and I doubt you'll save that much on some replica grill.

Thinking of going for the black grills on my Imperal Blue/Black Shadowline F10 when it's delivered. But not sure if the combination of a blue car and black grills work although it sounds as though it should (and its too late to cancel the back shadowline :-) )
Any thoughts?

Car arrived about 3 weeks ago and then spent 2 days back at the dealer with some 'Chassis' fault. Then I was in India for a week so I have barely driven it Black shadowline looks terrific with the Imperial Blue so I think I'll bite the bullet and get the grills done over Xmas if I have time.
