Hey Krafty isnt the grill already black on the 04 .
I was just wondering cause my 330ci grill is black , but I heard someone say its come with titanium grill for 04...

I have a 2004 330ci w/ sport package and my grille is titanium...I think they all are except for the 325 models w/ sport package I think...Can you put a picture of your black grille up please.

not sure of the color of the grill for 04.. don't laugh, never seen one, newest BMW I've seen is a 97. Kinda stuck on this island...almost two years now. Heard the new grills are black with titanium ring.

Hosagod, click on the ebay link and you can see one.

Why not just paint them black? As long as you do a good job prepping thwy should last. Mine is holding up for almost a year now.

Have you had any problems with chipping? Did you coat the paint with any sealant? How about any paint flaking? This sounds like a very cost efficient, quick, and easy-to-do project.

Try to remove the chrome off the grill by sanding it really well. Then prime, a few coats of paint, then finish with clear coat. Or you can just take them to a body shop and paint it black. Shouldn't be that much eaither.
