Chaz09 Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Evening all! Was just wondering if anyone know the best place to get some gloss black kidney grills! Seen some on SSDD but they seem very pricey at £60 but I'm struggling to find them else where, any suggestions would be a good help! Cheers in advanced Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaz09 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Ah right thanks, I've seen it a few times but never knew what it meant! Proving difficult to find ones to fit, those ones on eBay don't seem to be available but I'll try messaging the seller!

BmwAK Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 SSDD sell quality parts and i've bought a few parts in the past and it hasn't dissapointed me. I've bought cheapo grilles before and they were ill fitting. Buy cheap, buy twice imo. feva 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonK Posted February 20, 2016 Report Share Posted February 20, 2016 Have you got a quote from BMW? I don't remember my genuine Bmw performance ones being very expensive with the 10% forum discount you can often get. Sent with Tapatalk (the crap Windows Phone Version!)
