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.
I agree with Gordon, There are some colours that would suit chrome better than black but this poll is for the OP's car so I voted Yes, replace the chrome:thumbsup
Have this one on the back burner for the minute. I think I've grown fond of em actually, though, so I probably wont do it on this car. I think it it wasnt metallic paint I would but I've started thinking they bring out something on her....
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
Mine was like this when I got it - not sure if Im too keen on it but not too sure if I can be bothered changing it either - might give the grill a lick of black paint to cover up the bits that have come off and see what it looks like then.
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
Not a big fan of chrome :hihi....I got shot of mine
