Graphite grills on silver gray m
I'm still not sure whether to replace the chrome with black.

Looks good as is. I like the black ones on mine but my Z is black. Gray looks good with gray.

Have to agree....keep this grill......this looks fabulous on your car....I have black car with black grill, not sure the black would enhance this look of yours.

Looks good! Any chance of some more photos under different lighting conditions and different angles? I wonder what that would look like with black surrounds and graphite gills...
But overall that definitely looks better than the stock look! |

Let me know if you have a change of heart and you want to sell those graphite ones. I bought a set of black ones from a member here and now I'm having second thoughts on using black grills on my alpine white.

I have silver-gray too and like the way the graphite ones look. But dang, mexicobmw's really look sweet too!!! What a conundrum.

I have a si coupe that came with the silver grilles with chrome rings. I bought an aftermarket set of black grilles with black rings. With the black on black, it almost looked like I was I had no grilles. So I took the black rings off and put them on the silver/graphite grille and thought that looked the best to me. Of course this is on a non-M. I plan to put on an aero bumper to match up with the aero side skirts.

Wow this thread was dead for one year and two days.
Anyway, the car is no longer in my hands, sold it to Autobahn West last month, and he tells me it already sold to another enthusiast in the area.

Should look good.
You will just need to black out the chrome outer rings. I used blackout tape on mine Plasti dip also works well. ......saves buying new grills & is reversible
