Default Black grills for e46 look okay?



$90 US. Just debating now with a friend online about this. He says he looks good, but I like the chrome better. I guess the blacked out front makes it look more secretive but imo it just looks cheap as it just snaps over the chrome.

edit: not for light coloured cars right?

I like em but it depends on the overall look of the car.

My buddy has one on his 330 (?) and it looks really clean.

They look good on some cars, but not worth what Hamann wants you to pay for them. Just sand down your stock ones and paint them.

Do you have any pictures? I haven't seen any silvers with dark rims or the black grill. Does he have the coupe?

Hmm, if you do go for the black trim, you might want to get the black slit kidney inserts, because it might look weird.

D'oh sorry I posted the wrong pic. I saw one on ebay that was all black, even the kidneys, but it was a fake Hamann. I think Hamann sells the kidneys but they are overpriced like Mugen.

He has the 4 door not sure of the model number (I suck with BMWs) i wish I did have pics of it because it does look pretty classy.

I am not sure though if its the Hamann grille or if he just painted it...I haven't seen him in a while now so he may have sold the car for all I know:dunno:

I will see what I can do though I don't know how long its gonna take.
