Front Bumper Chrome Trims Replacement - Luxury

Hello hello,

Back to BMW after an Audi interlude

So I just got a 530e Luxury in Glacier Silver and would like to replace the chrome bits around the fog lights in the front bumper. I have seen some pictures with the same bits in black so they must exist but can only find the chrome versions from OEM suppliers. Any idea where to get them ?

Thanks

Hey benoa(or anyone else), I assume that you made this replacement, would you care to make some short comments on the process steps? I just placed an order myself and will perform this operation within a couple of days hopefully.. Is it a simple project?

Thanks!

I know this is an old thread, but how long did this project take you? Do you think it could be done without removing the bumper?
