Kidney grille request black or carbon, w/ chrome surround

Hi, does anyone know it you can get the kidney grille with the vertical bars in black or carbon fibre and the surrounding edge of the grille in chrome as the original one.

I have a red 130i, but I think the full black kidney grille doesn't look right (for me) on a red car. By having this combo I think it ties in well with the headlights and the bottom airdam mesh.

Thanks

Purchase a set of either matte black or cabon fiber.

Take apart both the OEM grilles and aftermarket set.

Piece together what you want.

Yep, the matte black and carbon grills are two piece like the OEM so you can swap the inners and outers.

Yes they do. There are 6 clips holding the inner and outer pieces of the grilles, two on the top, two on the bottom, and one on each side.

We actually do offer gloss black grills. Head over to the matte black grill page, there is an option for painted. Enter Jet Black 668 for the paint option which will be gloss black. Also specify whether you want just the outer or outer and inner painted.
