Colour coded front Grille

Wed Mar 09, 2005 2:32 pm

Looks like the arrival of my white 325i is imminent woohoo. I'm now toying with a few ideas, although nothing major as an M-tech kitted e30 looks the mutts nuts anyway. The largest mod I am considering is whether to colour code the front grille (incl. kidney) white like my fathers old e30 I have mentioned before.

So if one of you Photoshop Leonardo Devinchi's out there could knock me up a pic (based on 325isports white ex-beauty) I would be very grateful. Then your opinions on how it looks would also be great.

Cheers

Erm... don't do it. At the very least if you DO do it, have a spare grille set so you can change it back...

Was even going to do a Photoshop image for you... started it, but it hurt so much I had to stop!

Very 80's...

I'll give a swerve then....and instead start looking for my fury dice and leopard skin seat covers... I must be getting old!

I did actually do it. Took a pic of Dips car that he gave me (a white M3) and did the transformation. It was so horrible (in both how it looked and the 'amateurness' of the picture) that I dumped it.

Difficult to make black look white... not as easy as just inversing it!

Eurgh, the whole grille coloured is awful.

What about just colour coding the kidneys?

would the grill look ok gloss black on a black car, or would it look a bit naff? im fed up using trim cleaner on it only for it to go all dull and patchy a few days later

why not get a whole new set, that would look best.

or take em out, and matt black the lot (or leave the kidneys, isup to u)
and itll look like a new car i swear
