I believe you have the stock bumper already. But if you want the part numbers for the titamium accents on the lower part of the bumper here they are:

GRID (TITAN) - 51117016509
GRID LEFT (TITAN) - 51117016511
GRID RIGHT (TITAN) - 51117016512

I think he has a 2000, so I think the facia is a bit different from ours.

They look the same to me except for the silver trim and the silver foglight surrounds? :dunno:

Ehm, I called and asked about the parts you quoted me. It seems they are the right ones, thanks.:thumbup:

I would like to know if the plastic bumper part is the same with mine, that is the titanium inserts can be fitted directly to the existing bumper lower part.

And, what exactly you mean by fog light surrounds????The fog lights have surrounds????:confused:

The plastic bumper part is the same for the 330i and the other models (as seen in the ablve pictures). The titanium inserts should fit your bumper fine as I've seen those fitted on a local MY2000 328i.

As for the foglight surrounds, pay close attention to the 330i pictured above. Notice how it has a titanium color rectangular ring INSIDE the foglight housing? And take a look at your car, and you'll see the same ring on your car is black. That's what I was talking about when I say the "foglight surrounds". I think the only way to get them is to replace the foglight assembly or getting some used 330i fogs from someone else.

The fog lights are such a small difference, I wont even bother.

I am more interested at the front lower bumper. Do I have to remove the lower bumper in order to fit the titanium inserts, or can I fit them without removing it?

I think you need to remove the bumper to take out the inserts from the back. Not entirely sure though. :dunno:

Yes, you do have to remove the bumper.

[Fifty_Cent]

Yes, you do have to remove the bumper.
Any on -line DIY Diagram, or step by step guys?:p

Once bumper is removed, just snap the trim out from the inside of the bumper.

This front lower bumper is my personal favourite. I have seen it some time ago on a 330i and I really like it.

Thanks guys.
