Ebay e92 Grill

Rchan. · 11-06-2007, 09:49 PM

Has anyone tried these from ebay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/06-07...spagenameZWDVW

These are made from ABS plastic, not repaint from the OEM ones so paint chipping shouldnt be a problem since theres no chrome underneath, but hows the fitment if anyone knows.

I was gonna wait for the UED 4th GB but there seems to be some issues with the 3rd GB

Please post any pics or comment if u have these

for plastic grills $120 is harsh

sejoon85 · 11-06-2007, 09:58 PM

$120 is a bit steep, but I just ordered a set for myself. As you've mentioned UED seems to have some problems and GB4, who knows when that might start. May be today tomorrow or in couple of weeks.

plastic > painted

ever since the E36/E46 days...

Rchan. · 11-07-2007, 01:12 AM

So are these better than the UED ones?

MMAJNKE · 11-07-2007, 03:07 AM

MMAJNKE · 11-07-2007, 03:22 AM

Rchan. · 11-07-2007, 06:04 AM

orientblue3 · 11-07-2007, 09:45 AM

They need to offer gloss black! I'd be all over it if they did.

Rchan. · 11-07-2007, 03:18 PM

btw is the black just the plastic finish or do they put another layer of matte black paint on top?

MMAJNKE · 11-09-2007, 09:40 PM

check my pics of the install

depends on the type of roads u drive on... and if it does chip ill just redo it again.... takes only like 5 minutes

trick50 · 11-19-2007, 10:48 PM

The OEM ones are plastic as well with some crappy chrome paint on them when you sand them it is like aluminum foil...

If you do it right painting is the way to go..you'll save yourself 100 bucks....If you take the time to sand them properly and use the right paint and put enough coats on them they WILL NOT CHIP!!

sejoon85 · 11-20-2007, 01:21 AM
