Replacing front gray bumper inserts

Where do I get the black inserts (not kidneys) to replace the gray ones in the lower front bumper?

You can get them at the dealer for like $28 each I think; or you can just pull them off and paint or plastidip them.

These are very easy to remove and paint. The quality is all in the prep work.
Wet sand them for 15-20 minutes each until they have a dull sheen. I put on 3 very light color coats and 2 light clear coats. I painted my inserts and cross bars in my A52 space gray and then cleared them. I purchased the paint from Bavarian Auto.

I just bought the black ones, think from the earlier year cars. About $~30 for both sides if I remember. They just pop right out. I have the non-sport bumpers
