Black grill....

I'm asking for a friend of mine. Does anyone know where he can get a black front grill? Is that something you paint or can you buy it? What web site can i go to?

Bavauto.com
Ebay

or do it on your own. Many guys on bimmerforums spray painted their grills black and it looked pretty damn good.

what kind of bmw is it? you can find most black grills on ebay or even better instead of purchasing extra set take your existing grills and have them painted black

imola i assume ur doing this to your M3 and i would recommend just to get a black replacement grill. there so many out there. i did a DIY job bc there are no avaliable black grill replacments for the Z4M. but ehh its ur car.

just go to home depot and get a clear spray primer and black spray paint. (i got a heat resistant one bc my front end get pretty hot lol) spray a coat of the primer and let it sit for about 15 min. then spray 3-4 coats of black spray paint. let the coats sit for about 15 min each. let it dry for about 2 hours and ur done.
