Black front grille?

tdjwt · 01-19-2011, 10:09 AM

These are only Â£83 from BMW. Has anybody got any pictures on a carbon black car? Does it look good?

k44ENT · 01-19-2011, 10:36 AM

Was wondering the same thing on a Jet black car...

OR standard

It's obviously a highly subjective choice, but I think the black grilles only work on a white car.
I bought black ones for my dark blue E92 and regretted doing so as I thought they cheapened the car's look and although my F10 is white, I'm sticking with the original items. My car is a 535d and the grilles have quite a subtle smoked chrome finish, but I don't think that's common across the entire range.

slightly off topic but......shadowline totally rocks! For some reason it seeems to make more of a difference on the f10 than e60 IMHO.

I agree, it seems to make the standard 17" wheels look better proportioned, on a black car anyway.

I've ordered the grill for my carbon black m sport. Should have it next week.

Dude, how did I miss this post!?!?! I have ordered the shadowline grilles to be installed on my Carbon Black 550i Msport but have yet to see pics. I am totally glad I ordered them as they look freaking awesome!

Week 12 build, April 8th delivery ... the wait is killing me!

Looks great, but can you get a pic further away from the car?
