Who's changing their Grills to black?
Curious. I'm trying to decide if I should make change the grills now or waiting and see how the chrome looks on LBB.
It looks like a must for AW or MG. |

I ordered LBB and I will be getting CF spoiler, mirror caps and black grills. I don't like chrome grills on any BMW so I would even add the black grills to my order so that the car could be delivered with the black grills if they weren't over $400. It looks like I will order all these parts from IND and install them myself.

As I changed my colour to MG, I might get the grills, trying to get a decent price for them at the moment.
I do have time to decide as the car is only expected in about 60 to 90days... |

I've ordered AW with delivery this Summer and the grills will be one of the first things to modify.
I've mentioned it before but I won't be fannying around scraping knuckles and forearms with the bumper loosened off as it will be straight out with the hacksaw on the first and then reaching in and popping out the second. Personally I'm not sure about the chrome on any colour as it's not anywhere else on the car unless one opts for the chrome highline which is a no-no in my books. EDIT: Chrome is on the exhausts of course,but that doesn't count Last edited by Nine Lives; 03-28-2016 at 07:39 AM.. |

I'm going blacked out on my LBB. Ordered the black surrounds from iND and I'll install myself. Having the dealer do the Gills as I don't want to deal with removing and re-adhering them?
Anyone have any ideas on blacking out the M2 on the grill and trunk (Boot) lid? I'm thinking gloss plasti coat..... Just trying to get rid of all Chrome!!!!

I dont want to get flamed but i think the black bits will look the least attractive on LBB.
And everyday i flip flop between the idea of BSM with black or MG with black. it'll probably be a coin flip (that you cant lose, lol). edit- its the idea of a solid black with a blue/green hue depending on the light that throws me off. chrome actually looks good on it and i hate the chrome too, typically. |

I'm waiting on the grills. Although I don't like chrome in large amounts, especially on wheels, bits of it don't bother me in the abstract. If they bother me in the flesh when the time comes, I think I will do something other than order them from MPerformance, which is conducting highway robbery on these ones....

I agree, wish they would have sported up some of the show cars with black bits. blue/black is awesome but is ocean blueygreen/black? thats what i saw with my (miserable) eyes in person lol.
I also wrote that to spice the thread up a bit haha |

I ordered LBB and I am going to leave the grills chrome, if it was any other color I would go black. For some odd reason I think chrome will suit the car better on LBB if you leave the exhaust tips chrome. Id love to see black grills and tips on LBB in person though.

IND is probably smiling right now after seeing that BMW price for the black grills. |
