Front Titanium grills

[cooa99]

I am looking to buy titanium kidney grills for my black 2005 X5

I am not very clear if each side is a single or 2 piece unit.

e.g. realoem http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=FB72&mospid=47739&btnr=51_4251&hg=51&fg=95 is showing the titanium ones as a single unit, is that true?

I found the add below on ebay, but not sure exactly what they are selling (.... if the grills happen to be in two parts)

Hi and welcome,

If your look at real OEM the grille is a single piece for the left and a single unit for the right.

On the eBay link they are only selling you the left grill.

Do Check the buy and sell section via search for titanium grill as I know someone was selling a set a lot cheaper a whirls back or poss if you have black the may want to swop their titanium for you black ones, just a thought.

Also spotted this link for a DIY solution http://xdrivers.co.uk/forum/index.php/t ... l#msg29534
