Welp, after much deliberation I went ahead and put black kidneys on. Also did a gloss black M6 badge on the truck, and had some left over flat black 3m wrap that I put on the chrome door handle trim and amber reflectors.
It's my first time with 3m wrap, so I think it turned out ok. |

Glossy black kidney grills look great though chrome also fits very nicely on a black or dark color car in my opinion. I do not mind the chrome ones I have factory fitted on my tansanite blue. Yet when they will be worn and/or scratched I might go for the black ones too.

when i bought mine, it had the chrome kidney grilles, and i self-installed the black ones.
it looks way better, and more aggressive.

Don't get me wrong it is far from perfect. You can still see a little chrome peeking through on certain edges. I need to touch it up. |

I'm resurrecting this old thread because it's time to change my kidney grills to black.
I have black wheels from factory and on San Marino blue I think it will look better. So, what are the options? I could buy OEM or replica grills or paint existing chrome effect. I have black vertical strips so painting would not be too difficult with a spay if I mask off the strips. I'm slightly concerned though the paint might peel off the chrome effect surface over time. Your opinions on the best route will be most welcome. Thanks guys. |

Im dying to do my front grille in black, but I have nightvision. I haven't seen many around an if I do, they are stupid expensive. Such a dumb option that I NEVER use.

I agree too that OEM are ridiculously expensive and will probably end up buying replica grills. In your case I guess having the chrome surround painted is the best option. Last edited by anglaslt; 04-27-2019 at 04:13 AM.. |
