Big fan of the black kidney grills, but can't make up my mind on whether they look good on silver cars. Looked at some pics and they look ok on some pics and crap on others. I think they really suit the black, blue and red. What's your thoughts chaps?

get the gloss black, looks amazing

Look excellent on silver brings contrast with the color

Fitted a OEM pairs yesterday on my mate's silver E90. Could not take photos.
I was 50-50 like you and not sure if they look better.
If you are planning to add front splitters then it should work.

Got OEM gloss black kidneys on my silver E90 and really pleased with the look. Much more aggressive!

I got matte, still a whole lot better than the chrome.

Would be great if you could get a picture for me, thinking the same with the splitters, wouldlook great if I was to fit both. Are the OEM gloss or matte finish?

Have you got any pics mate?

[RS Yod]

I've been thinking the exact same thing, can we get some pics up especially of cars without splitters please?

Got them (matt black) on my wife's silver e90 and silver 1 series and think they look the bizzo. Not convinced on my carbon black 535D so left them chrome

Anyone know how much the stealers charge for these, or is it more cost effective to go elsewhere?

Just bought these £65 from the dealer, although I haggled with them. Had to show prices online and showed the vines bmw ebay shop (they offered me £70 as a bin)Book price was £78. The gloss black ones are much better, and it matches my shadow line trim on my tiag. I'm in the process of getting a splitter to pull the front look off, just can't decide on which one to get.

[badgerbrock72]

are they easy to fit??

think I will give the gloss ones a try, as already said would be a good match to the msport shadowline trim

Took me 10 minutes. Remove the 4 bolts holding the bumper in under the bonnet. Hand down gap, push tabs through and off they pop. there is a guide in the guides section.

Be prepared for a few marked fingers however.

Cheers, think i will buy some next time im in the stealers then,

Go for it. You will not be disappointed

Silver or silver and black on silver.
Black on black.

I'm in the same position. The pictures on this thread give you a good idea of what to expect on an E92.

I have the same grills but I've not yet fitted them to my E92. I also have the black lower mesh. If I do pull the trigger, I will also do the chrome window trim too. However, I quite like the look of the car at the moment..

Easy enough to swop over but will definitely chew your fingers!

Only the pic in my sig-sorry.
