Chaps,
Anyone purchased a set of these as i have purchased 2 sets now from ebay, first set was the wrong year (sellers description inaccurate) and the second was damaged.
Any recommendations for good retailers/ebayers ?
I NEED black grills! __________________

Why don't you paint your own... it would only cost like 5$.  __________________

because my current grill has a snapped clip anyway so needs changing ideally. __________________

They are pricey, true, but they look so different to the standard upgrade to M3 mirrors... if you are about at combe on the 22nd or cheddar on the 9th take a closer look.... we like em. esp in yummy yellow __________________ BMW 318ti Sport Compact Dakar Edition
