Hi guys. :hi:
I have a 318i 2001.
The rear of the car looks like this:

The bar which has the Rear license plate lights in, is black by default. And doesnt look as good as silver:

what is the name of this item? and is it possible to DYI install a new one?

Thank you very much :thumbsup:

Those type of things were probably factory options. (if you'll notice, they have painted door handles as well).

I cant imagine its too hard to retrofit one, try realoem.com and see if it will let you pick one already painted.

i dont think theyre painted ones, simply a non-318i ones. 320+ have the silver doorhandles etc.
looking at the site now
