Has anybody added the black kidney grills to their 2 series?
I am strongly considering getting the black kidney grills to my jet black 228i but I was wondering if anybody has any pictures of it on their 2 series.

I will be adding the black grills Monday @ IND as well as the color matched bumper reflectors and tint. 3 simple cosmetic mods give it nice a crisper look.
Glacier silver m235i, pick it up Sat

Will they be selling color matched door trim as well? Ideally I would like to have all the chrome bits around the doors match the jet black of the rest of the car.

I've spoken with those guys on the phone and gotten some stuff from them. They'll relist when they sell out and have told me they'll beat any price for OEM.

I will say that I wanted to go all black with mine and get CF mirrors, black grilles, and black panel decal. However, after being in the car for a bit, I have found that the lines of the stock grille match the lines of the lights and connect with the lines of the stock mirrors. I think it all goes together extremely well. Now, when I see a car with a mixture of both, I cringe to myself. Note I'm saying "to myself" because to each their own, but my personal preference is only go one way or the other if you're getting a complete set.
ALL of the above can be completely offset for a 228i with color-matched mirrors and silver window trim. Could be completely different. |

No need to cut anything. I did this using just a torx screwdriver to remove the six screws that hold the front of the bumper cover to the top of the car. There is a good install guide over on the F30 site that give step by step that I used. Scale of 1 to 10 (10 be a master mechanic) I rate this as "2". You will be able to keep your stock grills without any damage that you can paint, sell, or reuse later if you sell or trade the car.
