Changing colour of air vent(?) on front wings
Hi, has anyone changed the colour of the air vents (at least I'm guessing that's what they are) on the front wings?
I'm looking at buying a silver F34 however IMHO I don't think the black vents suit the silver, I was wondering whether anyone had already changed the colour of these on a silver F34 and what the results look like. I''m thinking either silver to match the wings or possibly chrome, but I'm not very good with colours / artistic so am curious as to what that could end up looking like. I'd love to see what others have done. Thanks, Jeddy |

I have a black sapphire f34 and thinking of changing the kidney grille to all black for the stealth look. Grille available on eBay for £70 odd. YouTube has instructions for changing grille but not for f34.

I'm increasingly of the opinion that I'd rather go for a Silver F34 Luxury - shame they seem to be as rare as hens teeth. I've seen one 330d Lux pre-facelift but not one facelifted silver 330d Lux. Tempted to go for a facelifted 330d M Sport (which is what they all seem to be) and do some mods myself.

I've never thought them to be attractive, even less so when the color contrasts with the body color, making them even more obvious. Mine are black on Midnight Blue, which isn't too bad to my eye. I'd rather they matched the body color, just not to the extent to bother to paint them...yet.

Funny, I have Mineral Gray Metallic with the chrome bimmerangs and would like to replace with black but I can't seem to find them (o they than Alibaba for a hefty price). I can find them primed and stickers but really want oem black. Anyone have the part number for black (I assume shadowline)?

Amazon
You can find them. Example:
at Amazon, use search terms "F34 GT Car Side Air Vent Cover" There are even "carbon" and red styles.
