matt black grill or standard chrome grill?

[Z3mCoupe]

Its about R1200 a set for the gloss black performance grille. I found out about a month back..

Im also going to go for gloss black... Think matte black will clash with my black paint...

I would just confirm that price, clearwater BMW charge that price per side, so that would be R2400 for left and right

 

[Kisho135i]

I'll pay 1500 at most, otherwise its time time to spray dude!

 

[Nastaliq]

HOLY LIQUI MOLY ekse.

For R2400, you should get them coated in 9ct gold.
Hahahahaha!

R2400 is madness!

 

[Kisho135i]

lol, lets not get a head of ourselves. If the stealer dont phone me at 2pm the i'll phone him.

You can paint your existing kidney grills. OR like I did, cover them in 3M outdoor vinyl. The vinyl cost me R300 for 1 square meter.

 

[Laigo]

Kisho, you can save like R2300 if you just do the DIY? That's alot of money in anyone's books, taking into consideration you say you hate chrome, so just spray your kidneys gloss black... *chants* Spray it! Spray it! Spray it! Spray it! Spray it!

 

[Nastaliq]

I see the chanting is hardcore on this thread! Lekker :clap:

I concur, spray it!!!!

Also, Menno, where did you buy that 3m vinyl? do they have it in carbon fibre look vinyl?

 

[Rennzport]

spray will never be the same.. Never!

I can do gloss for R1100 at most, but dnt feel like importing just 1 set

 

[Kisho135i]

just spoke to stealer. R790 for one side. so its R1580 for the set. Sorry diy guys.

gonna go see him now, he say his not sure. hey these stealers!

Will keep you guys posted

 

[Nastaliq]

Too expensive. I say DIY and the Y, must be YOU Kisho!

Not some other guy!

:nono:

Do it for the forum members, if not them, do it for me guy.

 

[Kisho135i]

ok i come from the stealer now, it cost me R1556-26. They only have 1 grill for the right side and 3 for the left side in south Africa so i was lucky. i will fit it myself, hows that?lol! I'm getting them on monday. Even the stealer said that he was gonna tell me to rather prime and spray but the paint would chip and it wouldnt be the same.

 

[menno11]

A mate of mine does vinyl signage, so yeah, they do have Carbon Fiber.


Would post a pic, if i knew how to on this forum....

 

[Sankekur]

Check freerider's signature on how to post pics

 

[menno11]

Ok great, hope this works.

This is what the carbon Fiber vinyl wrapped grills look like on my ride, no chipping of paint on the vinyl!

The bottom air ducts have also been done in Carbon Fiber vinyl with only the brake cooling ducts exposed
