Grill swap for chrome version

HDH · 11-09-2006, 04:11 PM

Just got an ex-demo 320iSE in the UK and I'd like to replace the standard matt black slat grill with the chrome one from the higher models. Anyone got any idea where in the UK might carry one at what kind of cost? I'm guessing they're really easy to swap but figure that a dealer is going to want silly money for it.

Also, anyone had a retrofit on the auto headlights and auto wipers. I would have loved to have had them but had to settle for what I could get. Any ideas on likely prices in the UK? I'm sure they'll be heavily inflated no doubt compared with the £95 they are as an option when new.

you can get chrome grilles from your local BMW dealership, or try your luck at the marketplace
