Chrome trim delete

Aj6543 · 01-15-2021, 10:44 PM

Should I change up the chrome to a flat or gloss black on my 330i? Does it look bad with chrome or does chrome look good on silver?

Don't change it polish it out. If you make it black it will look like a 325i that's what they came with

With that tint on the windows I'd do gloss black on all the chrome, even the trunk badge.

Of course you'll have to change the wheels and exhaust tips too to make the transformation complete.

Gloss black grills and flat black trim. Chrome is for granny cars and pimps.

E1 knows the pimps and grannys were the biggest market segment for 330i's when they came from the factory with that chrome. The cool kids bought the 325i

You mean your plastic grill? Or your 328 badge? I would leave as is. It looks good with the silver.

That’s what I wanted hear. I think original looks good. I never plan on selling this beauty.
