Hi everyone, long time ago I wrote last time...

I was wondering, I'm thinking about painting my front kidneys on my bmw black, I wonder what kind of spray will be good for it? and not get away and such under any weather, hard times... and such, any suggestions?


here's a PS i did quick to see how it would look, I like it.. :=)

Hmmmmm, no.

no? you like the stock look?

I think it looks more aggressive this way, on some way... hard to explain, but thats my opinion.

and this PS-job doesnt really show the best on how it would really look :)

your photoshopping the wrong grill pre 2001, you want the 2001 grill.

oh, they're for sale too! nice! no bother to repaint it then, but wonder how much the shipping would cost me to Sweden ... :S gotta find some dealer in Sweden if there is.

I like it, I think it does make the car look more aggressive.

Those ones on ebay look two wide....does anyone know if they changed the size of the grilles and when...because in the ebay auction it says it will fit 97-03, but I think those look too wide.

These look like the right one just from comparing picture of these to picture of an actual e39 02'

looks like its for E38

yeah looks like they're for the 7'ers...

I knew there was something fishy about those first ones

I blacked out my grill, i think it looks good. Especially if you have the "shadowline" option/upgrade.

heck yea it does...bmw should have done this from the beginning for all cars that had the sport pack, which includes all the shadowline trim except for the kidneys...

Yeah fortunatly I have the shadowline, and I think it should be done from factory aswell, wellwell going to shop some spray tomorow and see what happens :=)

question is if I need to sand paper the chrome out for the spray to stay where it is, would be a hell to do on the small "things" (dont know the word in English) but I'll try tomorow and show u pics when its done! :)
