Chrome, Balck or Steel Gray
The Chrome BMW tag is gonna go soon and my Euro plate will come in.

Question is, to either


Keep the grills chrome?



Or all Black, or Steel Gray in the surround and black in the middle?

Here's a colored matched grill and a black on on a silver car



Am open to other ideas too....

id go with the color matching, but keep in mind, those grills are different, the part that is color matched is much thicker than the stock grill

Stick with the chrome. Goes well with the car's color. Otherwise, I like the shadow trim.

Leave it how it is.

But, if you go same color, or black, you should change your tag.

Personally, I LOVE the chrome on chrome (kidney grills/tag)!

That is a tough one. In my opinion, I dont realy like the color matched ones. Looks kinda cheap. The grey ones arent too bad I guess. The chrome I think looks the best, but there was that thread in the e36 sub, with the guy who blacked his out. Those looked pretty slick.
