White kidney grill?

William · 07-08-2007, 06:44 PM

what do you guys think on a
Alpine white e92 with white kidney grill

I saw this once on X5 and 540 looked nice

SpecC · 07-08-2007, 06:58 PM

i think it'd look nice. i say do it!

Swoop · 07-08-2007, 08:14 PM

gotta pic? I've been meaning to photoshop this for a few weeks...as well as the lower grills

achien · 07-08-2007, 09:06 PM

you need some color variation, otherwise, white-on-white would make your grill look "funny"...

Swoop · 07-08-2007, 09:09 PM

the black coming through the grill (the radiator) will provide the color variation

William · 07-08-2007, 09:14 PM

You guys rock! this forum is great!

thanks for the advise all was greatly noted.

but im thinking about taking it out and trying out both colors and see how it turns out. It shouldn't take no more then 35-40 mins.

achien · 07-08-2007, 09:22 PM

Post some pics afterwards, let us know what you have decided. Good luck!

If the outer rim of the kidney grille was painted alpine white and the slats were painted black I think it would look good, but all white is kind of funky. I just saw a pic in the gallery of an all white painted grille and I really didn't like the look at all.

Chris.G · 07-09-2007, 04:45 AM

Need to see a pic first

Cadillac Johnson · 07-09-2007, 05:14 AM

I would say no, dont do it.

astra · 07-09-2007, 05:42 AM

William · 07-10-2007, 05:22 PM

look like a toy. so i had that removed scrubbed off the pain and placed it black and well your right! looks so much better

oldaccount · 07-10-2007, 05:56 PM

a white surround with black slats is a sick combo.

!Xoible · 07-10-2007, 05:58 PM
