XSeries-forum

Hi all, im looking to replace the kidney grills on my wifes 2005 X5 purely because there are a few clips broken on one of them. At the moment they are the same as in this picture....



But I would like to change them for all black ones without the chrome surround. Can anyone recommend where to get these from?

I've looked on ebay but there seems to be so many different ones at different prices that its hard to decide what to go for and if they do include the black surround or are just the actual grills.

Cheers...

For perfect fitment, what about a set of secondhand OE ones and then get the surround colour coded to your X?

If you want all black ones, then I have purchased a set previously from SSDD Motorsport.

Cheers Raj, would rather go down the all black route. Ive had a look on ssdd ebay shop and website but they dont list them.

Anyone any ideas where elae to get them?

Cheers

Fire off an email to Teddy the owner and I'm sure he has them or can advise.

I've just ordered from this site here as they're having some mind of closing down sale. The prices get dropped even further every Friday for the duration of the weekend. Think my all black kidney grilles were £33, though haven't fitted them yet.

Cheers for the link, but looks like they only do plain black for the 00 - 03 X5. They have a carbon grill or chrome for the newer one but not plain black

worth a punt?

No, they're facelift and you have a pre-facelift. They won't fit.

Buy me them though.

Yes Sanj I know mine is prefacelift (thanks for rubbing it in) but the OP has a facelift. I already have black grills as I pointed out to you on sunday, you were obviously not listening...

Sorry Imy - never wished to cause offence. Don't know why I thought they were for you.

I was busy looking at the indicator constantly on. Please check, think you have a bulb out.

Your a funny guy! No offence taken!
Indicator I will need to investigate. Something new every week!

Did you locate the leak?

It's your bulb, change it.

Leak - oh yes, that mystery is solved!
