I was going to say leave it chrome (like mine..), but there are some real nice black ones. Especially with smoked headlights :cool:

To summarise , if you want your car to look council (see above for prime examples of the genre!) paint your grille black. if you are proper and don't want to be associated with these 'undesireables' leave it chrome ! :)

Pete - you know as much about style as you know about women! Which is why you've resulted in chasing boys. :o

I used to be a fan of black kidney grilles but recentky ive gone off them.............I think they suit certain cars though.

If i ever get another e30 i want white tech 2 sport with standard chrome kidneys and 325i badge left on, also a nice stainless exhaust and a subtle suspension drop..............Nothing to council :wink:

But its not chrome pete, its plastic and thefore the very epitome of councilness. Black the bas***s and shame the devil,s handiwork.
