Not sure if changes since I got my car. Caps came Cerium & primed. Shadowline/black gloss paint code U668. I bought primed & had painted BSM because Cerium are $$$$ and saving them for ??? seemed like a good idea. Rollover trim comes in black gloss. I swapped out those parts too. Minimal deconstruction involved. Can tell you next week if caps I added are same as part nos. you're seeing. Used darkish tint to smoke side reflectors. Would probably paint white or use light tint on your car.

On the topic of grills does anyone know where I can find the attached grills for the G29? Must be a compatible grill size from another model

Thanks for the step by step guide friend!
I am attempting this tomorrow to install my custom M3 style piano grills, unfortunately I don't have a plastic trim removal tool so will be trying my luck with these lol (flat head screwdriver, plastic ruler and microfibre clothes). |

I also installed the shadow line grill yesterday, I'm pleased with the results.
And, yes, the car desperately needs a good clean 😂😂 |

I don’t see the picture or step by step instructions for some reason? Anyone have them? I just ordered the M3 style grill but wanted a DIY with pics or a video on how to remove the grill.
Also, do we have a V brace in the back of the grill? The metal bars? |

OT, slightly: I like that blue - looks like a matte/satin - I'd like to see more of that car. I'm thinking that's exactly what I'm after.
And I know this might sound stupid, but it looks like there's a bit of room behind the grille - would there be room to mount some 'driving' lights? |

Btw, your dealer may be willing to do the work for about 1 hour rate. |

I purchased the old school grill style from an online retailer and it did not fit correctly for me. I tried refitting it multiple ways but still couldn't get it to install properly. It seems like the tabs to slide into the body clips were too short and couldn't engage in the top side of the car causing the gap seen in the picture.
Has anyone else whose used these experienced this? |

I ordered mine on the official French BMW parts website, was rather inexpensive (150€). Funny that I'll receive them before I get my car |
