I put the gloss black ones on my graphite car and initially I didn't like it as the contrast just didn't seem to gel. After keeping them on for 6 months Ive decided to keep em as Ive grown to like it now.

They look much better on a light car, particularly white.
I have to agree that the glossy black grilles look so much more natural on White bimmer's. But I have grown to like the glossy black grilles and will be purchasing mine for my sparkling graphite e90 today! Will post some pictures soon...

MV, no problem it's all yours. I eventually bought the gloss grilles - much nicer looking than the stock chrome ones.

ed, received the touch pens yesterday - used them for a couple of stone chips on the bonnet - perfect!

Cheers.

Hi,

New to E92 (335d M sport) ownership and it was the first mod (well second really, as I had the windows tinted), and boy does it look good now.

Car has taken on a more 'mean and moody' (my mates words) and was deffo worth it.

My avatar is of the front pic with the grilles fitted, so should give an idea of how they look on a dark car, (mine is an individual colour: Onyx Blue ) ... T

Matte or Gloss for SG?
There isn't many Black Gloss for sale and its double the price of Matte.
Let me know if Matte Black Grills would go well with SG.

Thanks!
