did this about 2 months ago...but figured i'd post it...

So the project begins:

As you can see from the close up....I have the black kidney grill with chrome surrounding it, which you will see on most BMW's.



Another thing that you might not see on all BMW's is the Lower grille on the bumper painted the same color as the car. Didn't really like that too much, since the grille is supposed to be black



amd here is the shot of both...



lift the car a bit...remove the lower grille and the kidney grill



I then removed the chrome pieces from the kidney grill



Once they were all off....i got a scuff pad and sand paper and started going towards the garage so i can start sanding all the pieces down.

sanded all the pieces and grabbed the black primer and went to town...



After a few coats of primer....it sat for a while....then i sprayed the semi gloss paint. Afterwards it sat for about 2 hours or so.....and once everything was nice and dry, i then walked back to the car.....and put everything back on




The Finished Product:







All in all....easy enough job....only took about half the day and also saved me some $$$
