Best place for black kidney grills?

Tim G · 07-31-2015, 04:36 AM

After some gloss black ones for my E91 lci.

How much are they from the dealer?

Any discounts available?

Anywhere other than the dealer do a decent replica part?

Cheers

i bought the replica ones, they look ok, but they're not a huge saving over the genuine part, and dont fit as well.

I'd stick with genuine if i did it again.

What kind of prices were they both?

Aragorn30d · 07-31-2015, 04:59 AM

The ones i bought were 50quid on ebay.

The genuine ones are 80ish i think. I guess your best bet is just to try the various outlets ebay/leebmann/dealer with forum discount etc and see where gives you the best price.

You could get a pair of cheap chrome ones off eBay and paint them

I was lucky and got a pair of proper black ones off eBay for £13

What is leebman all about, do they supply genuine parts at a discount, or are they replica parts?

I cant work out if these are gloss black or matt, its non descript on the web page:

Leebmann are genuine parts as they are an actual dealer.

I think that the performance ones are satin.

Yeah they are the satin ones which is a shame but can't complain.

Tim G · 07-31-2015, 06:29 AM

So can you buy genuine satin and genuine glossy?

Hulla the Hulla · 07-31-2015, 06:43 AM

Tim, some people have had mixed fortunes with Leebman24 so do your research...although a set of grills should prove less challenging

I picked some matt ones up off ebay for £33 delivered for my e90, can't complain about them really. Look great and fit well.

IanS100 · 07-31-2015, 08:38 AM

I have a genuine set of BMW Black performance grills that I'll be putting up for sale when I get round to it?

Ssdd ones are £60 which is better than the £80-90 from the dealer (that I read in another thread).

Is ssdd stuff decent quality/ fit?

JackHerring · 07-31-2015, 11:11 AM

Yep got no complaints what so ever, materials good quality, bought these before I bought the car, good fit. A good bloke to deal with and package came within two days, also got my angel eye bulbs for there.

I got the gloss ones the other day, they fit well, however the quality isn't amazing (as expected with non-genuine) but once they are on you can't really tell. Gloss matches the shadow line trim well.
