Your close-ups were great, but I really want to see full body shots of teh car with the gloss black grills, so I can see how they tone in overall.
It's lovely here 'dahn sarf' - although I'm tied up with overdue DIY. Fingers crossed for tomorrow!

Good photos.

Quite under-exposed - presumably by design. Works very well in the first one (nice location by the way), second one I think is a bit dark, certainly for my purposes, i.e. seeing what black grills look like on the car as a whole.

Would welcome more pics.

Yes, and E90 saloon always looks good from the front. Actually I think it looks best from any 'square on' angle - front, side, back, etc. It looks at its worst when taken from a three-quarters front view, imho, which is the angle almost always used by dealers to photograph the cars for teh Approved Uued listings.

Sure, here's some I have posted in other threads earlier.









New, before I mounted them.

Good thinking there...maybe I should switch my matte ones for gloss grills! No rock chips yet?
