Kidney grills

brettsvn · 07-09-2020, 07:17 PM

How's it going y'all!? I recently installed a m3 style bumper on my gfs E90 (2008 328i) and was trying to identify which kidney would fit this bumper because the stock ones don't work as well as the post LCI (I believe that's what it's called) ones don't work. I'm attaching a pic to see if anyone can identify. Thanks in advance! [IMG][/IMG]

Looks like somebody needs a new hood now.

I was thinking the same thing BUT, they don't fit even if I had the hood (I have those grills)

I would look to see if M3 grills will fit since it's an M3 Rep bumper. The hood can be adjusted to line up correctly.

I'll give it a try!

All the rep bumpers I've seen have used the original grills.
Only time grill change was necessary was if the bumper was lci on a pre-lci car.

Are you sure that's not what happened here? Maybe an LCI hood plus grills will fit as expected?

Yeah the car is pre lci and I already had those grills so I got some lci ones and those don't fit either. With that being said, I got the post lci grills with the bumper so it's possible they really aren't post lci (for this year anyways) so maybe I should be looking into that. I'll take pics of what I have and post them
