Hi all,

Can anyone advise the best place to buy the gloss back grille surrounds or replacement grilles?

Plenty of US sites but seem to be harder to find this side of the pond.

I was wondering if the cheaper ebay models did the same i.e. come in two parts.

Just ask BMW for the normal F22 black kidney grilles?

Completely agree with Mark 1M.

I bought the 2-Series F22 black grills and separated the black surround from the black slats. I then did the same with the original M2 chrome surround and M2 black slats. I simply replaced the M2 chrome surround with the F22 black surround. Saved a small fortune.

Cheers,

Phil

Thanks Phil.

Did you buy directly from BMW?

I picked them up from JCT600 in Bradford. Paid £103 for the set of F22 gloss black grills. It's a bit of a pain separating the surround from the slats but it saves a fair chunk of money. I'll post the part numbers up if you need them.

Cheers,
