Which grille?

[d6dph]

Well i have just had a flick through my photobucket account and found an old pic of the car which at the time had the std chrome grille.

Now this got me thinking "which one do i prefer?", I have one of each but really am unsure which to use?

Chrome:


Satin Black:


The crome looks more original, but the black looks aggressive?

Opinions please.

[reddevil]

Chrome looks good on some, black looks good on others, I think for yours, I would go with the black.

i still prefer the chrome purely for the fact maintains its trademark appearance.

[stE30w]

i`m tottaly undecided on this one
they both look the nuts on your car

i`ve got two grills,one chrome and a black one and just swap them depending on mood and where im goin(at least i did before i found the car was rotton)

Chrome grille with standard headlights... satin black with smoked headlights.

chrome makes it look like a BMW; black is much more anonymous... but they both look good

how about taking Giles' suggestion one step further - fix both in the car and make them revolve / swop over at the flick of a switch, and the lights too.................... I'll get my coat

I think your particular car looks good with a black grill.

My chrome-laden Tech 1 car is best suited to the original.

black....

omg so many people liking chrome! wheres cliffy! ,, he needs to see this!

[cliffybabe]

its all about the chrome

[swindy]

Got to say you Motor is sweet and I think Id keep it looking as original as Possible, CHROME.

[noney82]

chrome, but not too much of it

[d6dph]

Starting to think the chrome makes it look more clean and loved?

Its not like its a big job to swap

[noney82]

i got mine and had black on it but it was just like caps over the crome so just pulled them off

[d6dph]

Mines painted fella, I have a chrome one too.

[noney82]

a bit of chrome looks the dogs

[Giggz]

All about the blacked out look. Love that aggresive look. The less chrome the better i say. Just my 2 pence.

[d6dph]

May just put one side in crome and the other in black

[ed325i]

chrome

[kunjani]

i reckon it depends on the other styling of the car (especially colour)

black is cool and so is chrome

[doughboy]

Chrome...

It's only the chavs who will appreciate black grills.(ie moded for moded sake)

They both do look good.
My preference is usually chrome on E30, black on an E36.

e.g. mike318is's car which has tempted many of us to be deviant

wtf??
e36 have no place here..they have some new generation grill thats just too big to play with i think, if its black it looks like its missing on them

Thanks to all that voted, Staying black then! the votes over the three sites it was posted on: Chrome 20 - Satin black 31.

Thanks again
Dave

[Bob_S]

I'd say chrome on yours, it depends on the colour of car though all the contrast malarkey lol

[e36boy]

Go for the BLACK ones. Look the nuts mate.

[Ziggy]

Mine's black at the mo... I can never make my mind up either! But seeing as it takes about 20 seconds to change it, I ain't too worried Just swap and change depending on your mood!

[Cotty]

Satin black, really like the look of mine

[tim-ix]

My car's metallic black with shadowline trim and I reckon it'd just look oppressively black if I had the grilles black too. Given that you have both I'd swap them about now and then until you decide eaither way.
