black vs white kidney grill

Bijan818 · 11-05-2009, 12:57 AM

i was debating which i should do...can u give a word of advice?
should i leave my kidney grills black the way they are or you think it would also look clean if it was white around with the black in the middle...cause sometimes the white kidney grills look good and stand out more to me...but I've only seen it on m3's..i don't think there would be a big difference between m3 and the 335i but unfortunately i can't find any white kidney grill pics hopefully some of you have seen em...thanks for your opinion if you leave one i appreciate it

I'm going to get the oem aerodynamic lip very soon...so you can look at this picture and get a better idea if the white will look good eventually...thanks again

Just keep it as it is it is going to look great with the black kidney + OEM Aero lip!

m3pare · 11-05-2009, 01:21 AM

looks good either way. personally, i'd stick with complete matte black.

i would stick with the present setup, matte black grille, no paint chipping

blk. since the bottom grills are black.

Stick to the Black, give a nice aggressive look to the car!

I like black or if you do the painted, do the white outer and black inner but IMO on AW, all black works the best.

Tee212 · 11-05-2009, 12:25 PM

I like the oem grille and lip combo
