///M color strip on front grill

BMWOOF · 04-23-2014, 03:34 PM

Has anyone applied ///M color strips on front grill?

I have just bought some from Bimmian but it seems like the strips(even on the thickest one) is not wide enough to cover the grill.

If you have other products and suggestion, please let me know.

I saw this recently on a M3, the strips were coming off and it just looked like crap. I recommend painting them on instead of buying stickers.

Yeah, I think that's the best option too however, I am not sure if I will like it 100% so I want to have the option to be able to take it out....

Why not just buy the grilles with the stripes already painted on?

I think that would be a even more costlier option.

Not on eBay (replica, not OEM).

Loved mine.

The Estoril Blue M Sport (my new car being picked up next month) has them painted on, so you can see what the difference is.

Nice!!!! Yes, now I am looking for an option to have it painted on. I found out the the grill width from the top to the bottom varies so you will have to be quite good at craft to create an template. I do like DIY stuff but I might just give in and have local shop do it.

I got mine from bimmians sister website stealthauto and you basically over lap the stickers. Mine hasn't come off and its been 4 months. Even if they do come off its a cheap repair.

@mge.92, do you have a pic of it so that I can see how it came out?
I have the same product as yours I think.
