Blacklines?

Now that I've got my new motor - 335d E90 MSport, theres a couple of bits I want to change/enhance. So any pointers in the right direction would be great:

Blackline rear light clusters
Boot spoiler
Black kidney grilles

All must-have mods.

Blacklines - buy from a stealership, you should be able to negotiate a 10-15% discount.

Boot spoiler - check out the E90Post Group buy

Gloss kidney grilles - Again, stealer.

What do you mean 'drew a blank'???

You went into a shop and asked for some of the goods they sell and they said what exactly??

'your hair is too long...'

'you are the wrong shape...'

'we not understand what you talky abouty...'

WTF?

sorry its late.

As in, I listed exactly what I was after, and they said.....

"sorry mate, we can only order chrome grilles"

"blackline rear clusters, no mate, only got standard ones for the E90"

"rear spoiler.... yeah, can get those, but only the lip type"

Strike 3, as I was looking for an Alpina 'esque' kind of spoiler.

Call SSDD motorsports for the spoiler, they do the m3 lip, the aero type, and I think another one.

The aero type is:
