black grille on silver car?? opinions
was thinking of ordering the BMW performance gloss black front grilles... but haven't seen too many black grilles on silver cars..
what do you think... yes or no? I was thinking they might look nice with some carbon front splitters.. but again, haven't seen that done on silver. |

Tell me more?
What do you mean? Its an LCI car manufactured Sept 10 There is no bracket - drilled straight into the bumper - always hated it. Looks cheap to me. Keep meaning to pick up some metal pressed plates and plate holders - but want blank ones. |

Damn you all!
Although I had black grills on my old Platinum Grey motor, I didn't go for them this time as I didn't think they'd suit a car in silver. Having seen the photos, you've just cost me another £70 |

I think the 'YK60' above looks more stylish with oem.
Put mine back to oem for the same reason, looks more professional.

I have the grill, mirror caps , m3 spoiler and duke dynamic perfomace diffuser in carbon fiber. Before anyone says its overkill it isnt because from afar it looks just like black parts.
