Performance Gloss kidney grill - need help!

Hey guys,
I recently bought the OEM performance grill to go on my 2010 E90 that's due in a month. The wierd thing is that i thought the entire kidneys would be glossy but the ones i got from my BMW dealer has the outer ring in gloss and the vertical parts in matte - what gives with this? Has my dealer ordered the wrong parts?

Part nos:

Cheers
Pavel

Yep, just the outers are gloss black. However, we do offer to paint the inner slats if you purchase the painted grill set.

Got them up on our site:

Painted Grill Set for the E9X

Just mention in the comments whether you want just the outer or the outer and inner painted.

I believe they're not painted, it's the plastic itself that's glossy.
