White kidney grill?

If you go white, make sure it has clear and is glossy. However, I think the stock chrome on white looks nice. I wouldn't do it, but it's your money. To me, it looks like you went to Maaco and they neglected to mask off your grill. Kinda like people with color matched mud flaps (who still gets those?!) or painted windshield wipers.

That pik up top is gross ! Id say go White Trim and Black grill. It looks way sweet in thoes other pix.

shragon · 07-11-2007, 11:10 AM

seen it done on other white bimmers, and doesn't look that good to me.

Theres no definition of the slates from this picture, so i cant change the slates to white without causing it to look slates didnt even existed.

Thanks anyway bro.

Kiemyster · 07-12-2007, 05:28 PM

nawh only works on the 5 series with that kit. seen it on other cars. you'd be dissapointed lol.

Kiemyster · 07-12-2007, 06:26 PM

wow. i just checked the poll results. this OP isnt getting any help here ahaha

Swoop · 07-13-2007, 05:41 AM

So I got bored and wanted to see how this would look so I went down to the hardware tore and got some white Duct Tape. Here's the result. Oh yeah, don't mind the minor bumper damage, I'm crying on the inside, but it should be fixed soon....

William · 07-13-2007, 10:22 AM

that is a sick front bumper! what kind is it?

and yeah it does look nice Trim-white. Grilles-Black

Swoop · 07-13-2007, 10:37 AM

The lip is ACS.....and I'm really not a fan of it personally. I'm going to be taking it off here pretty soon......

BoostedBMW · 07-13-2007, 11:45 AM

I like white surrounds. I thought that you wanted to go with white slats also, which I think looks terrible. White outer kidney grille with black slats looks perfect. I would have voted for white if I knew that's what you had meant.

Swoop · 07-13-2007, 11:58 AM

Guess I didn't know for sure what the OP meant, but this is what I pictured

VMRWheels · 07-13-2007, 01:17 PM

white looks best imo.

it does it does. but in some cases; like white rims

that makes your car look like a plastic toy (and not in a good sense)

Full white kidney grill makes it look funky.

BUT white cars! you can NEVER go wrong with them

SV Concepts III · 07-13-2007, 01:43 PM

On a white car I prefer the matte black look.
