Review on Enhance the Look of Your E46 2-Door 1999-2002 with Black Single Line Left + Right Front Kidney Grille Grill by Brody Jacobs

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not perfect but good enough at 20 feet!

These are available from various vendors on Revain. I don't know if they are all made by the same Chinese manufacturer and sold under different brand names, or if they are actually different manufacturers. It fits well on the mi 2000 323ci coupe. Shrapnel from a trailer tire hit my original grille. One grate was badly damaged, the other literally evaporated! However, even before the damage, the 17-year-old's bars weren't looking so good. The chromed plastic was scratched and worn not to mention all the clips were broken and the grilles were held in place with zip ties! These grids are not perfect. The color of the red slats has an orange structure, and the black outer panel has telescopic reinforcing ribs. However, from a distance of 20 feet it doesn't stand out, it looks damn good! When the car was 2 or 3 years old I was a lot more picky, but at 18 these grilles actually make the car that much better. A note to those purchasing these replacement grilles (from any dealer): pay attention to the YEAR and BODY. STYLE YOUR CAR! Sedans/wagons and coupes/convertibles have different body panels, as do the earlier pre- and post-facelift models.
