Hi Guys
I have always fancied doing a grill update, but the high price of the parts for no *real* benefit have put me off.
I did however, find some time to disect the standard "egg box" and hit it with some paint.
I used some BMW titanium silver I had from another job - looks fine against the body colour - not too bling.
If you are interested, the grill removes from the body with just simple plastic clips. Once off, you can unclip the chrome surround and badge bar.
I power washed the "egg box", cleaned it with alcohol, ensuring all crap was removed from every corner, then hit it with some plastic primer, base coat and laquer.
No before pictures... just afters... looks fine I think... for zero real cost.
Hope its of interest to someone!
David
