jjs 64 Report post Posted July 24, 2008 WTB Pair of kidney grilles for a pre facelift 1996 e36 328i coupe. Would ideally like a set of the wider facelift style ones. I have seen the ones on trademe, but don't like the chromes spokes inside the kidney. Car currently has black kidneys, which if you are interested I could swap with you. Let me know what you have...

*Glenn* 854 Report post Posted July 29, 2008 Just a thought Jeremy, have you thought about fitting a facelift front panel first ?? $170 for the panel (Am new) and about $100 to paint it, if you cant get a second hand one the same colour. Then fit the facelift kidney's. That's what I did. That's if money allows you to do it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My car is cosmos with M3 front and had recently had the nose resprayed, don't want to go backwards looks wise! Actually have sorted some kidneys now. But pre-f/l, not f/l. Not too worried as they don't look hugely different to me. May buy some facelift ones later down the track but dont want the awful ones on TradeMe that are all chrome (like the center bits to be black!).

F/L front kidneys dont fit PF/L the front panel is different..was just a thought thats all. Should have done it before repainting the nose Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
