Carbon Fibre Kidney Grille

I saw one on an M3 at the mechanics i go to. Obviously the mech would have no idea about it but does anyone know anywhere that does these??

Its just a replacement for the chrome bit of the grille but in stunning carbon... i'm looking for one but no joy anywhere on the world wide info place...

If not are there any other interesting alternative grilles. So far i've seen the chome ones (anyone not? :lol:), Black ones (either gloss or matt, usually home job but places sell them), Coloured ones (Usually home job, if not spray dudes during car resprays) and this carbon one.

Anyone know anthing different, or even a really council one thats a different size or shape? I've seen the rare Zender grille before, but haven't seen an E30 with lights or grille, but the center grille looks to me to be the same, just the rest changed.

Just looking for something a little different again!

Cheers.

Its probably a CF wrap, seen it done before, easy to do DIY.

For a carbon grill, mix one part grill with 2parts petrol, add flame and stand back.

Or just laminate some real CF onto a proper grill with resin. Job done. Follow the instructions found here:
