Ok so its not a E90,
But I have a E90 so I qualify

Actually got the idea from the painted grills a lot of you guys use for the 3 Series,

Enjoy the pics

Looks great, done very well.

Craig@SupremePower · 11-08-2009, 06:59 PM

nice job looks good..

Bimmer Nerd · 11-08-2009, 07:02 PM

honestly, i think i would have gone with the matte/gloss black kidneys, because from the pictures it looks like its a little bit off, but might be different in real life tho.

OwnAge · 11-08-2009, 09:04 PM

Good job, love the look.

Paint match is spot on,
Look at the reflectors in the bumper, Painted with the same can and its a perfect match

I think the "all black" is getting a little played out now

Very nice, looks slick on red.

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 11-09-2009, 01:32 PM

Yup.
Just the little cosmetic mods that make the car more unique,

The car looked great from the factory, Just needed a little "tweak"

I think I'm going to do the washer nozzles on the hood this weekend, got a little left over Imola
