Need a replacement grill "nostril" for the E46 3 Series

[Or888t]

A friend of mine has just had, I assume, their Grill nostril vandalised.
He is now in need of a replacement, where would the best place be to purchase a new item; or perhaps a source a used example?
Can they be bought separately?

A OEM replacement is preferred...
All suggestions much appreciated.

More info, it's the drivers side, and it's the 'chrome' E46 coupé style grill.

Anyone?

E-bay or local scrapyard?

Yea can't help but to think similar, does no where stock them? Or would that route just not be cost effective...

Call the local main dealer, or ebay for aftermarket.

What price do you think we'll be talking at a main dealer?
The 3rd party ones seam terrible, unless you go black or c.f that he doesn't want too...


I've search ebay found this;
This is what i'll be buying, not too sure he's convinced for whatever reason...

Euro car parts, I'd probably get a pair of nice new ones so they match.

Thanks for that.
They sell them separately as well, and at £46, probably better off (!)

Do try a main dealer as well, you might be surprised. Eurocarparts won't be OEM but will probably be alright.
