Wrap it. That's what I did. Luckily I found a color identical to my car's color, there's 100s of wrap colors, you'll for sure find one you like.

I am interested as well. Saw this on Amazon that fits X3. Anyone has experience with this type of insert?

Just ordered those - if they don't fit, it was only $20. I'll report back when they arrive. |

Reading the reviews, this one concerned me: These are great for the money I guess coming under $20. Really simple to install, but took a little elbow grease pushing the covers on the bars but led to a secure fit. These look nice for the first month or two but the sun will fade the color fast (or the heat from the engine .. not sure who is to blame). Either way, they will fade. I purchased the Red and it looks like a faded pink almost now after only a couple months. Vehicle sits in a garage most of the time too so it may be the engine heat and less of sun causing the fade. I used wrap, it was not that difficult (but more difficult than these I suppose). |

Well, the Amazon brace covers arrived yesterday. I'll get them on this weekend and snap a pic or two.
We don't get a lot of sun here in Michigan and the car stays parked in the garage a lot more often than not, so we'll see if fading becomes an issue. |

That is a good idea about waxing them - wish I thought of that when the grill was off lol. Another poster wrapped his in red which looks great on his Brooklyn Gray. Once you get the hang of it, it isn't too bad. |

Yea if I see it fade overtime I might just wrap it. The reason I just used the pvc pipe cut-out pre painted was because I had bad experience on taking out my F80 grille. But they definitely made it super easy now just 6 push in clips.
