Also, i cant find REAL carbon fibre side grilles, only carbon effect ones.
With the Kidney Grilles - who makes the best REAL carbon fibre kidneys?? I dont want the covers as i want to get rid of the whole chrome effect not just the outer piece - i want black slats too. Any help/advice appreciated.

Hi,
I bought my side grilles and bonnet kidney grilles from CA Automotive. I think you will struggle to find total carbon fibre items and the cost would be huuuuge!
CA's items are real carbon fibre laminate and are a small weave match to the CSL roof and other bits. I'm really pleased with mine and they were a doddle to fit. The quality is top notch as they supply new parts with which to laminate but i did have to wait quite some time for them to arrive as they order them in batches...
Reference the badges, you either have to prise the old ones off and re-use them or buy a new set like i did and stick them on to the CF items using a clear waterproof resin. I think i paid about £35 for the badges from BMW.
I can post some pics later if that would help.
Rob.
