IMO, no because the headlights look chrome too and i think the grill will stick out like a sore thumb!

DO IT, then you can drive past old people in the same car, but say to yourself "yeah, but i have black grills, laterz you old losers"

I just leave it alone tbh, doesn't make bugger all difference really, its a bit of a saxo/corsa mod in my eyes, your not 18yrs old anymore. Its just not the sort of car worth modifying like that.

You will be fitting replica wheels made from iron girders next.

I'd say no, but if you do, do the bit under the plate too. (sorry for poor shop, took 30 secs).

If you do, do it just vinyl wrap so at a later stage you don't like it you can just rip it off.

I did mine...I'd say do it but buy the black ones, keep your silver ones, they only pop out and you can change them back and sell them on if you don't like it.

I think it would look cool.

NOT a rattle can job, though.
You WILL get stone chips and you will NOT get around to fixing them, so get it done properly, replace them with original black ones or don't do it at all.

Thanks for this; a much better job than ive done; and swinging me back towards getting it done.

Would def be a proper replacement from BMW I would get if I did and could always change back at any time.

If you can just swap them out if you change your mind then there's no reason not to really.

Leave it as it is, BMW have got the styling pretty spot on straight out the box imo.
