Cant make up my mind so I thought I'd see what you lot think.

Here's what she looks like now but there will be angel eyes going on in the not too distant future.


Any thoughts appreciated.

I voted 'No' , keep the chrome. Some cars like A20 RYM's suit the non-chrome look, in his case, because the car is white and the contrast looks good. I think if I de-chromed mine, however, it would look crap. I see coloured cars without the chrome quite a lot, and generally, I don't think they look very good.

keep them chrome impo... black grilles only suites 2 colours impo... silver and white (maybe black too) if your making them black u need to have the whole theme across the car - depends how tacky you want to make ur car look - and remember how long your keeping it for, you planning an "upgrade" soon?? if so keep as much standard as you can lol easier to sell

i personally cant believe so many people spray there grills black, i think the chrome is a nice touch and would never change it :)

I think it depends on the colour of the car. It looked great on my black E36, and it looks great on A20 RYM's white coupe..:cool

BUT i tried the black grilles on my calypso red E36 and i didnt like it at all and have kept the chrome as IMO it suits the colour of the car more...:cool

Each to there own though....:thumbsup

I got some fitted, they are quite subtle and help 'lighten up' and freshen the front of the car, its really the only chrome upgrade I would do though!

No chrome far:



No chrome close:



Close Chrome Left:



Close Full Chrome:



Far Finished!
