You can buy the grilles from **********s.com, I think. They usually have everything you need and a bit more... The mesh I don't know how easy it is to replace but I have heard it is not easy so I actually painted mine. You can find good instructions for it from DIY, it wasn't difficult if even a girl could do it

Here is the link to **********s:

Couldn't find the post about how to paint the mesh but there is basically two options, both using black spray paint for plastics (less than 10 bucks from Home Depot etc).

1) Spray the paint into a small cup and tap it on the mesh with a sponge (triangle make-up sponge you can get from any pharmacy) or
2) Just use enough painters tape and paper to cover the car and spray it

I used option 1 myself.

yeah I really would love to paint the lower ones. But I hit a Stick on the highway and I broke the one by the intercooler. So I might as well purchase the black ones. But it seems that they are impossible to find :-(. I pmed craig to see if maybe he can get me both. Thanks miltzu

I bought my lower grilles from UED - http://www.uniqueeurodesign.com/prod...mpergrille.htm

Would have loved to save a bit of money and paint myself but I just don't have the space to work on a car living in the middle of Manhattan, or the time, plus I would prolly suck at it, LOL

I painted mine using the same method like Miltzu did...spray can into cap and then used a brush to paint it on...It came out really nice and if you take your time it doesn't even look like its painted on....One thing I did different was the last coat, instead of painting I did one even stroke with the spray can....If I would have just sprayed it on, the intercooler would have also had overspray on it, but my method of spraying one quick coat on it took away any paint brush marks!!!

get the black upper grills from Craig... cheap and perfect OEM fitment, that's where i got mine. Some other vendors have fitment issues with the grills.

Get the black lower mesh from UED http://www.uniqueeurodesign.com/prod...mpergrille.htm
Do not get the 328 oem black lower mesh... they have the sides blocked off and you won't get air to your oil cooler. That's a big problem! Get the modified ones from UED

[Craig@SupremePower]

Ahhhh see Olish i didn't know that....

which lower mesh piece broke? Was it the center or the sides? If it was the center, u can order the 328 black mesh from the dealer and paint the side ones using this method: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...62&postcount=6

if the side ones broke, u need to buy 335 side and paint them.
