Black Chrome Kidney grill

Recommended Posts

I was shopping around for some new Kidney grills for my Alpine white e90

I was wanting Gloss black ones,then I came across a vendor offering them also in Chrome Black

has anyone ever see these on a car and have any idea how they would look on a white e90?

Might do this to mine, is it easy to ensure a nice gloss black finish? 

Maybe I'll just pay a body shop to do it, should be a simple job for them.

yeah fair enough! I probably would've done the same but my budget was $0 and I had paint lying around. Hope shipping doesn't take too long!

If you take the grills out and take them to a shop I'm sure they would do a reasonable cheap and good job of it. But this is a very doable DIY job. there will be heaps of YouTube vids on how to get a nice gloss black finish on plastic

I ended up getting some Grills in Chrome Black, Cost $150, really nice quality , don't feel thin and cheap like a lot of the cheaper ebay ones

I think they look pretty cool, something a bit different from the Matte or Gloss Black was also thinking of trying to get the lower mesh done in chrome black also

here is a few pics (angel eye just blew lol) doesn't quite look as good in pictures though

 

also had a spare grill and some plastidip so thought id play around and tried a white border grill which I actually think looks quite sweet,what do you all think?

Yes, I'm perhaps surprised but the white frame one looks kind-of okay.
