Ooops, wrong grill

AsherG · 10-10-2011, 05:03 AM

Hi All,

Just after a few opinions. I accidently ordered the wrong matt black grill and was going to send straight back but now it is growing on me, Im thinking about keeping it.

Question is, to reorder the top grill, or keep the one I have which is the second picture.

Im normally very decisive but can tell if it makes the car look cheap

Grill I originally wanted:

Muchas Gracias in advance

My vote is go for the one you opriginally wanted; logic being...you wanted it for a reason. You don't order a Big Mac and walk out with a Fish-O-Fish

AsherG · 10-10-2011, 05:20 AM

Ah, you dont know me, as I would walk out with both

I thought the same, its not what I originally wanted so return. But the thing is I hadnt looked at the other grill before ordering so it never became part of my thought process.

Too much choice = harder decisions

I don't really like this one. It looks like an E90 moustache feature. The reason the moustache was done away with for facelift E90 and never used on E92 is that it's universally unpopular.

return it and get the one you want!

+1 The one you originally wanted looks cleaner.

seanblee · 10-10-2011, 06:07 AM

+1 for the top grill - I also don't like the moustache look...

jimmylimmy · 10-10-2011, 06:45 AM

+1 for original grilles

second set look sleepy

willhollin · 10-10-2011, 07:59 AM

Looks like Hitler.

+1 for the original grill. Get what you really wanted or you will never be entirely happy

zaheer · 10-10-2011, 10:31 AM

I actually like the one in the 2nd pic...makes it look like a 6 series

scottishpete · 10-10-2011, 10:57 AM

i like the second

225_AB · 10-10-2011, 11:06 AM

Original, that top part is just so wrong. Spoils the lines, unnecessary clutter.

Billyray911 · 10-10-2011, 11:20 AM

Second one gets my vote-looks meaner imo!

mc_blue · 10-10-2011, 12:20 PM

Really dislike the second one if I'm honest. First one looks a lot cleaner.

B005T3D-G · 10-10-2011, 03:07 PM

Go with your First choice. Second one just looks out of place.

AsherG · 10-10-2011, 03:23 PM

Cheers for all the opinions guys! I have ordered the grilles I originally chose. Decided I want the car to look as OEM as possible with a few subtle mods to differentiate it so the moustache has to go.

MEGA, I'm not even going to comment on that picture

Frobius · 10-10-2011, 07:30 PM

Ha, MEGA is that you?!

Glad you went for the original choice of grille. That bottom one looks crap!

Good choice - go for the first one. Im not too keen on the second one.

AsherG · 10-12-2011, 09:09 AM

All sorted and IMO looks much better
