black grills or standard ?

Mark e90 · 11-06-2015, 11:22 AM

After removing the wrap I'm thinking the front end looks a little "old manish" and i think it might be the chrome grills that are doing it. Im thinking of changing them to gloss black but concerned it might look to much with the car being black also. What do use thing chrome or black and also if anyone has photos of a black pre lci with black grills ?

Always go for the black grilles

Hmm tough one, I personally kept the chrome on my black pre LCI but on my current silver LCI I really one to change to gloss black. Out of curiosity where is the best place to get a set of gloss black ones for an E92 LCI (sorry for the hi-jack).

If you want to look less "old Manish", you could get rid of the garden shed.

Mines black with black grilles, looks much better.

On a pre-lci, black.

But keep the shed

Once you go black you'll never go back.
