Best place to buy chrome kidney grill OEM

Constantine · 11-26-2012, 09:42 PM

Hi guys,

I damaged my left kidney grill today. The chrome bit is ok but I broke the tabs on the retaining frame. I'm looking to replace it.

Any ideas where is the best place to buy one? Are wreckers an option?

Mate Ebay. Most of them are not Genuine, but you really cant tell the difference imho.

Unless you want to pay through the nose @ a bmw dealer :/

Surely there must be a few of us who have swapped to "shadow" kidneys. Help the man, lads!
