Shadow line/Chrome line

Hey fanatics.... :=):

My question relates to the 1 Series E82.

I was wanting to know if it is possible to change the silver chrome line that goes around the drivers door/rear quarter window to the black finish?

Anyone have any ideas what this would cost from the stealers provided a swop is in order?

Basically can this be changed, or can this be sprayed black? and would it be feasible to do so?

Lastly what would a set of black leather E82 1 series front seats go for? Manual non-heated versions?

Thanks :ty:

You have 4 options:
(1) Remove the trim and spray with PlastiDip or flexiDip whcih could be removed later;
(2) Remove trim and spray with either matte or gloss black;
(3) Source a second hand set at a junkyard and fit replace current trim;
(4) Buy a new set from the agents.

See Hugo_za's thread on how he did it in his 7 series
