quick grille question

PhMizban · 08-25-2010, 12:52 PM

Who is the manufacturer of the black replacement grilles I am seeing for around $45-50? I never see a brand, just "black kidney grilles". Same question for the colored and carbon fiber BMW roundels. are these all OEM parts?

Bumping this thread. Does anyone know? Where does this stuff come from on a manufacturer/distributor level?

Some dude in an alley way in China. Maybe Taiwan.

Don't do it. You have a high quality car- why put second rate bootleg shit parts on it?

I would suspect China ... but mine came from Taiwan ...

It's not like the plastic is going to hurt anything

I have matte grills just like most on this forum, they look fine.
