Pic Request - Blue Water Metallic w/ Black Grille

I'm stuck in the same conundrum as many people here in deciding whether to get matte or gloss grilles and I'm having a heck of a time finding pictures of this color with either.

I wonder if the gloss look would clash with the lower fascia, which is matte. I have shadowline window trim instead of chrome. Decisions, decisions....

The trim is matte. I think that's what I'll end up getting. I had originally thought to go gloss, but I think it may look out of place.

I'll be checking previous posts as to what's available as far as high quality grilles go.

Thanks for the pics Scott135i.

I ended up getting a set of matte black grills from Khoalty. Fitment is top notch. They're a two piece set and the style is identical to the OEM BMW grills albeit without the chrome. Two thumbs up for Khoalty grilles!!

I just got them on. I'll take some pics tomorrow after washing the car!
