Hi all

can anybody please photoshop the kidney grill from my car:

I'd like to see how it'd look like with either M-sport grill or M5-sport grill (double slat).. both are high-gloss black.

PS: I already blacked out (painted in matt plastdip) the vertical grill parts a few months ago (it's an hybrid one which came with silver/white grill)

Is this suitable?

It looks a lot cleaner all blacked out

Looks great!
Does anyone have experience in spray painting the chrome grill with the Black Plasti Dip paint?
I am trying to find out the cheapest valid alternative to replacing the kidney grills with new ones as I read that it is not easy to take them down and put them back.
Thanks!

as a matter of fact, this is what I did on my original grill and the result is shown in the top image I posted here in the opening post In my case the grill was satin silver (it's an hybrid edrive) and I plasti dipped it with black paint. I didn't bother removing the grill and just taped everything nicely and sprayed it while still on the car. After a year still shows like new
I could also now try to plasti dip the remaining chrome surroundings but I think it would show nicer if it would be high gloss black instead of matt black from plasti dip.

Update: I ordered (non OEM) double slat high gloss M-performance kidney grill and installed it in a few minutes (yanked out the original ones, didn't care about breaking clips) and so happy with the result:
