Something to do with changes to the air intake.

Can't get black grills for the 2021 car, at present there is no ETA if you order them, so it could be months.
I think I'll just get my grill wrapped in gloss black
What this mans said 👆🏻

Cheaper and quicker option and if you get a good enough company on the wrap looks as good anyways

Plus once getting rid of car (if you intend to in future) can just reverse back as quick and cheap
Hadn't even considered this.

Anyone have any ideas of likely costs?
Well seeing as yer from Scotland in your bio same as myself, depending on where you are you should be able to get wraps on smaller parts for bare minimal. If I remember right mines was like £100 gloss black wrapping;

Grill
Front vent caps
Wing mirror caps
Spoiler

Then I took the mirror caps off and put MoTech Performance ones on so wasted a bit of money there getting the originals wrapped hahaha
Glasgow based, but do a fair bit of travelling around.

Any suggestions on where to go?

Know the feeling of travelling around spend near 11 months of the year in England every year hahaha

Shore Wraps is the go to around my sort of area, just off the M8 in Hillington. I got mine done Premium Vehicle wraps Renfrew cause Shore were only doing full car wraps which I may take them up on one day we shall see.

Other ones I've heard of;

Ultimate Customs Ltd
AutoDynamic
Clyde Wraps

As for the Shadow line pack it can be added. My dealership ordered all the parts (Black Grill, Canards, mirrors and I had the rear Spoiler wrapped in gloss black.) and was fitted before I took delivery.

Still think if I should change the Exhausts tips for black as well for the pair £157 I was quoted.

The color is amazing. Do you use some kind of protection for the body? Maybe ceramics or something else?

-15% in my country... Full option excluding EDC (19'' alloys) + those seat belts with M colors.

What is a difference between OEM kidney and this one? I got this extended night package and I have everything in gloss black?

Gloss Black Diamond Kidney Grill - £99.80

Hi... Hope you can offer advice. My F44 M235i GC is arriving on Thursday. Its the 2022 model. I have just ordered an M performance Grill from AUTO ID as below and was wondering if the grill is actually compatible or not. Auto ID say it should fit but not 100% sure. Has anyone fitted a black grill to the 2022 model? Or does anyone know for sure that this grill wont fit?

Cheers
