Recall this thread: http://forums.beyond.ca/st/282295/opinions-needed-on-grill-color/

I decided to stick with the gloss black theme the car has from factory (the "shadowline" option)

So me and a bud (BillyJoelR) decided to vinyl wrap the exterior part of the grill gloss black, keep the center piece OEM (gloss back sides, light chrome on front)

This is the result:

Your not worthy of my hate, I'm just making fun of you actually. But on serious side, looks good and subtle. Funny how before with your other BMW, you went with the ricer "look at me" route with mods and now your going with the subtle/clean/quiet route. Good decision.


But that doesn't change the fact I'm still gonna make fun of you for your tinted windshield, nothing personal :thumbsup:

I edited my reply because I don't want a bashing thread - again.

I still plan on some more things similar to my last car, nothing was ricey on it.

If I recall I saw you driving once before and you had some horrible, horrible HID fog/driving lights. And possibly some cheapish looking aftermarket headlights/corners?

I'm not judging, I've done way worse in my past.

I can't comment on the new car because all of these pictures are blocked at work :(

And let's not forget the tinted winshield, that's a bowl of rice right there.

Back on topic, the mod looks good, it's nice and clean and looks 100% OEM:thumbsup:

They were projected HID, and halogen fogs. Look good IMO.

Had some cheap tinted corners... that was it. They went purplish after a while. Other than that :dunno:

About an hour for each grill, vinyl was interesting to learn!
