I got my 2001 330xi back from the shop and they broke all of the tabs on the front plastic grill piece that covers the hood latch. I know it wasn't broken before I took it in; however, they won't claim responsibility =( Anyhow, I suppose I'll have to replace it myself. Any recommendations on where I can get a stock or stock-like E46 grill piece for the best price? It's glossy metallic silver. Either separate or in pairs.
I get my parts from Brian at BMW of Chattanooga - great service and pricing! brian.scroggins@bmwofchattanooga.com
