Grills yes or no

Shane. · 05-19-2012, 04:33 PM

Im not sure what do you guys think?

The_Bear_Yid · 05-19-2012, 04:46 PM

To what?

B005T3D-G · 05-19-2012, 05:11 PM

I'd go gloss black for the grills or have the chrome colour coded.

1sh@Crystalwhite · 05-19-2012, 05:13 PM

Gloss black them along with your gorgeous wheels!

Shane. · 05-19-2012, 05:24 PM

sorry i meant genuine bmw black grills

FlowState · 05-19-2012, 05:25 PM

Gloss black for sure.

I ended up plasti-dipping mine because its sort of an inbetween of black and my sparkling graphite metallic paint.

anything but chrome brother. It makes a world of a difference in person.

Triggster · 05-19-2012, 05:27 PM

Yes, looks a lot better on any colour e90.

The_Bear_Yid · 05-19-2012, 05:57 PM

Yeah. I'm not usually sold, but I think it would suit.

Shane. · 05-19-2012, 06:02 PM

cheers has anyone got any good pics on le mans

The_Bear_Yid · 05-19-2012, 06:08 PM

The thread below may give you an idea.

parapaul · 05-20-2012, 02:35 AM

^^ Huh?

But yes, grilles definitely. Gloss or matte, either looks good on LMB

Nice wheels, BTW

DMH-01 · 05-20-2012, 08:20 AM

I'd go with the gloss black grilles.

Here's a pic of mine...

Statler · 05-21-2012, 09:10 AM

Just gloss blacked mine this weekend, looks luvverly on the red!

Rub down, 2 primer, 2 black and 4 laquer. Easy job

Soootylad · 05-21-2012, 11:36 AM

Definitely, its one of those subtle mods that non-BMW owners can't really put their finger on but realise that the car looks cool as hell

Its the one thing I will do to every BMW I ever own I reckon

- I went with the OEM Performance ones but I reckon they could look every bit as good if you know your way around a can of spray paint.

Would def go OEM, Were is best place to get them from

tIANCi · 05-21-2012, 11:53 AM

I love my chrome grills but today I went with matte black, yeah ... It looks great!

Soootylad · 05-21-2012, 11:57 AM

I got mine from Stratstone BMW's eBay shop, since they were the cheapest bone fide place I could find

Bear in mind though for pre-LCI you have to buy the two extra eyebrows that attach to the bonnet...

Matrez · 05-21-2012, 12:39 PM

Performance grills are the nicest BMW grills

Would look mint on your E90 !

FRG · 05-21-2012, 03:22 PM

As above, I got mine from Stratstone Hull BMW on eBay, they were £64.95, free p&p. Like you I wasn't sure about them and still wasn't after I'd fitted them. I called at B&Q the day after and parked miles from the doors, had a smile on my face walking all the way back looking at it. You won't regret it.
