118i Msport shadow edition

Hello guys. New here so just after some advice.

Just picked up the 2018 plate of the 1 Series M Sport Shadow Edition and very happy with it.

Where is the best place to find a decent induction kit for it. Is it also a myth that it can give you extra poke on the acceleration or does it just make the engine sound more throaty when pulling away?

Also, where can you get the msport 3 colour grill fins from?

I have had a look about on ebay for both of the above and not much luck?

Any device, much appreciated.

Interesting. I just want the throaty engine sound, I don't need added power.

Is this grill any good?

And about the intake, have you checked out K&N?

Where do you get those grills from? Do I have to buy the complete new grill set, or can you get the clip on colour ones?

I found the grills on eBay, Loads of different types on there, you could get clip on ones but personally I don't think they look as good - but they are cheaper. The twin slat grill has twice as many "slats" or "bars" but are thinner.
