The kidney's are one of the most distinctive parts of the car so I said chrome.

Especially on a black car where you need it to break up the black.

However black kidneys with smoked headlights, indicators and fogs on a black car just looks evil.......you've gotta go all the way though! :cool:

I would probably say black in most cases, with the possible exception of black cars.

Looks great on red, and awesome on DG, but black..... No.

When I first bought the Sport mine was Red - now that was wrong ! :eek:

However I did it black and it looked 1000% better, then I got hold of a chrome one and and I could not choose between the two tbh.
