Just installed Black kidney grill

Novoken · 11-30-2011, 07:46 PM

Got this new grill from a forum member. Installed it a couple of hours ago. I have to say looks nice. What you guys think?
My next mod will be to install the front spring perch and get a M3 style rear trunk lip and front splitters.

Looks good, I have the same car as you but without the xenons. I want to change mine from matte to glossy black. Your front bumper looks misaligned to the left a bit just like mine.

Keep reading on front spring perches, I've read it's just a minimal or no difference at all visually. Once you've read enough you might just consider doing coilovers.

I was going to do splitters but if you look on Gavin@MMW they have a lip for our bumpers, looks better IMO. And I'm going for a m3 or performance front bumper. GL with everything.

It still amazes me till this day how such a small mod such as the matte black kidney grills can make such a huge difference on the overall appearance on a car!!

Thanks the info. I have a 335i, which one do you have?
I think I misaligned it while putting the grill lol. I didnt notice it until you mentioned it. I dont want too much of a drop just to match the rear. Nothing big for now.

I was just thinking that. Same with my buddy's black 550i, the look of the car changes with such a small part.

OP, car looks good. The splitters will definitely add some more interest to the front end.

^Thanks. Next summer will be some wheels. Thinking something mesh. BBS LM. Not sure.

didit4dixie · 12-01-2011, 10:28 AM

Looks great man. I have the same grill in my car and am impressed that it has held up perfectly with no cracking or fading for 2 years!

Novoken · 12-01-2011, 11:35 AM

Yes something so simple makes a huge difference.

I just ordered some like new authentic BMW OEM blacklines. Cant wait to install them.
