Centre "kidney grils"....remove or not

[yz_250]

i have been playing with the idea to remove my centre grill and replaceing it with a horizontal grill so it look smooth all the way
But alot of ppl tells me it would look like a Mk1 Golf
personaly i dont thik so but would like to see what you ppl think???

It would be unique. But unique isnt always good....

Dont remove it, thats what makes the front a BMW and not a peoples car haha.

[shazE30]

sounds good but you got any pic's of thie grill in question......maybe on a e30???

Black grill, dont change the slats

[maxfield]

I think a grill like that would look cool all the way across. Do it, it's your own car so it's your choice.

i saw a grill like that before and it did remind me of a mk2 golf.depends wether you consider that a good or a bad thing though.i personally favour the dechromed satin black grill

I did this on mine afew years back. Looked pretty cool, prefer the kidneys tho.

This is a E34 but you can get a idea of the look




The 2nd has other bit done to it which also gives it an overall better look (bumper kit, m5 front n back wings ect)

Personaly i wanna try something like this



What you think?

[fuzzy]

not sure about the degrilled look how would that idea work hadez? i take it the bonnet hinges would need to be reversed for the bonnet to open front end first

[Hadez]

And even then you wouldn't be able to have the extra bonnet clip (the latch after you've popped the bonnet) i was thinking the simple 4 bonnet pins and lift the whole bonnet off, a pain in the arse for breakdown ect, or the bit more complex on rail's, so once popped open the whole bonnet slides forward then arcs forward, i don't no yet just some idea's, any input is much appreciated of course

[fuzzy]

someone else was talking about this recently and also mentioned the bonnet sliding forward first then opening in the usual way.im sure it wouldnt be to hard to overcome.

the E46 looks mental is that a real coverstion or a photoshop munipilation

looks phat eitherway.........not too sure on the blue e30

[yz_250]

Thx 4 all your input .......dont know, the more i look at the red e30 with its grill removed the more i love the idea
thx alot is316
and the blue one is a bit much but looks awsim....its got the same bumper on as mine's got on now ....
its a radical change ...but it could be worth it

[Ziggy]

Do it!

If you don't like it, you can always go back...
