Front Grill / Side Gills

Which one do you prefer?

Roby84m · 05-10-2010, 10:17 PM

you can either leave it stock or go with CF parts. It's up to you.

SlamMan · 05-10-2010, 10:17 PM

Kind of depends on the color of the car. I'd pick CF with a close gloss black 2nd.

Benjjman007 · 05-11-2010, 12:25 AM

Matte Black FTW!

brizzom · 05-11-2010, 01:12 AM

I forgot about CF for the poll.

The reason I ask is because I have AW and I've seen multiple pictures of cars with all the options but I've never seen it in person. Just wondering for the people who have seen matte and gloss which one looks better.

Gloss matches better with your window trim. Get the OEM BMW Performance ones from Tischer.

moog55 · 05-11-2010, 01:14 AM

i started off with matte black but have moved on to oem gloss black.

Good choice there, Peter

I'm moving from aftermarket gloss black to OEM Performance gloss black in a week or so.

That's a really good point that I did not consider.. leaning towards gloss black now. Thanks for the opinions guys!

I've got the OEM Performance kidney grills too.. but too bad that the side grills aren't available yet in the US as I was told.

Nate@IND · 05-11-2010, 08:39 AM

Gloss all the way.

cipher5 · 05-11-2010, 12:47 PM

Gloss for sure

SV Concepts II · 05-11-2010, 02:09 PM

CF to complement other CF mods, otherwise gloss.
