Anyone know where I can get a black grille surround to replace the chrome one on the F56? It's not really a big part but Mini dealers have said like the chrome one and lump it basically.

I'd even stretch to a carbon one.

There must be someone doing these?

Just get it painted or hydro dipped.

New mini stuff do the black surround. I'm getting mine wrapped tho - much cheaper!

Yeah wrap seems a good option for these parts in my opinion! I'm getting my roof done by a specialist this week and going to ask for quotes on my front and rear light surrounds. I'll ask about the grill surround too and share the estimate with you.

From what I understand, wrapping is great but is only a fairly short term solution. I think wrapping lasts maximum of 5 years but it still preserves the paint underneath. Painting it will be a more longer term solution and might even be cheaper than wrapping. Carbon Fibre is the bees knees to it all and will cost a small fortune but looks great, just don't have an accident or insurance might not cover the carbon fibre grill unless prior stated.

I'm trying to find a price list for the web site.

I sent them an email and they sent back with a price list for F56 parts. I think they use original mini parts then wrap it, its not true carbon fibre though

Yeah, I got the email from them last night too. All I can say is ummm.... Not no, but [email protected] No! As much as I'd love one of those intake ducts, there's no way I'd pay those prices. These parts are for people with a lot more disposable income than me.

 

[pjsjr13]

looks a little north of $9000

 

[Davyboy]

Why not try wrapping them yourself? It isn't as hard as you think just some practice first on smaller items.

 

[CooperS]

Where can you buy wrap?

 

[pjsjr13]

Where can you buy wrap?

I buy 3M wrap on eBay.

Yes eBay is a good place but don't get the cheap stuff

Sorry to hijack this thread. Anyone know of a company making aftermarket grilles?
