X4 Cerium parts

Looks like I’m getting a Carbon Black X4.
I’m suspicious of the cerium parts.
Is there any good replacements, either carbon or black available in Australia.
Aftermarket parts are hard to get here, but hoping someone in OZ has done it.

Your suspicions are well founded. Best of luck with it!

not quite sure whats suspicious about them, just don't tell it any state secrets. I had mine ceramic coated and they look great, they never water spot like others have talked about here and two years in they look brand spankin new. now if you just don't like them thats another story.

Some regions have a shadow trim option at no charge.. some of the bits will be gloss black. You might inquire if it's an option in AU.
