Black performance parts for
Hi all,
Just joined the forum today as I'm hoping to pick up a 2010 Alpine White E92 M3 Coupe and thought I'd ask for advice on the best way to source quality (but not ridiculously expensive) black performance parts, in particular... - black kidney grills - black side indicators - black or carbon fibre front bumper splitters - black/carbon rear wing spoiler Naturally I want them to look as close to the genuine OEM BMW performance parts as possible without paying the BMW brand tax! There are a few dodgy looking replica parts scattered all over eBay but I was hoping someone had come across a reputable supplier that has all these parts at a reasonable price. I'm also looking for a reliable Sydney place to spray the factory 19 inch wheels black... Thanks for your help! Regards, Duane |

Turner are great and you could get most of it from them, depending on what you want.
For rear CF spoiler, I would recommend forking out for OEM. The CF weave on the reps is a bit nasty. For front splitters or lips such as VRS, the replicas can be fine and I would recommend JBSPEED. Their current VRS front lips are primo and all the fitment issues seem to be ironed out. OEM and aftermarket branded lips are dear and it's inevitable they will get damaged which would hurt on a $1500 item. JBSPEED would also be fine for grills and side indicators, as it's hard to stuff them up - although the OEM options are cheap. You'll also want to work out if you want black plastic or black chrome. |

http://realoem.com/bmw/partgrp.do?mo...2&mospid=50361 You can get the part number and suggested price then go to on line dealers like ecstuning.com for OE parts Another really l good US shop is http://alekshop.com/ for aftermarket. Aleks is very reasonable in price and is often cheaper than Turner or EAS. He will always get back to you quickly. Enjoy the car |

Side and front grills are cheap enough to just go OEM. |
