Black kidney grills?

BimmerCop · 03-23-2012, 09:01 PM

Which black kidney grills do you guys recommend for my 2007 335i Coupe? I want the same good quality one you guys are most likely getting.

Also, do they sell blacked out window trims or do these just have to be wrapped in black?

Actually, you can just change the inner section of the grille and leave the chrome outer section. That will match nicely with your window trim. I did that on my Jet Black E92 and love the results.

You'll need to tape, Plasti-Dip or vinyl cover your trim otherwise.

How about the small grills on the bottom of the bumper? they sell those black or will I need to paint them black? Does Plasti-Dip come in gloss black?

Here's the Black Center with Chrome Edge:

You can paint them or Plasti-Dip them. There's a DIY on here on how to get them out. It's not really that difficult and a lot better than trying to paint them on the car.

As far as Gloss black Plasti-Dip, you need the glossifier at this link: http://www.plastidip.com/blog/2011/1...dip-enhancers/

Here's a better option than painting the lower mesh grills...

I have body-color grille surrounds with black blades...and you can buy black OEM lower grilles for about $16 each from Tischer (getbmwparts.com).
