what do you guys think? black kidney grilles or not?

asaulo1 · 04-07-2008, 05:36 PM

just wanted to see what everyone's opinion is on the black kidney grilles..... should I or should I not? my E92 will be AW with the 18s so I think the darker front end will be complimented a little bit more with the black grilles.... whatcha think?

!Xoible · 04-07-2008, 05:41 PM

no. get CF matching your roof. PM longtran man...... or wait till u see my pix

MDCTFTW · 04-07-2008, 05:46 PM

I think it only looks good on some colors. AW not being one.

asaulo1 · 04-07-2008, 05:52 PM

where's the pix then

don't you think the CF will be a bit much?

KonigsTiger · 04-07-2008, 05:58 PM

My brother gave me a set of CF grilles for mine!! Haven't but them on yet and am really thinking about it because I think it may be too much as well!! I don't know!!!

swamp2 · 04-07-2008, 07:04 PM

+1 look good on any color IMO. Don't get CF, CF for non structural components is a poseur to me.

kuruptracing · 04-07-2008, 10:17 PM

it'll look good. I had CF ones on my old 330 and it looked pretty good. just make sure its close to the same looking CF

GewoW · 04-08-2008, 01:56 AM

I do believe the CFs available are slightly grey-ish in tone.

gorun · 04-08-2008, 03:15 AM

CF or matt black are the ones to go for. the original BMW items suck ass

j|rz44 · 04-08-2008, 03:26 AM

Matte black yes... CF no.

KonigsTiger · 04-08-2008, 10:04 AM

No way! I like CF for non functional "trinkets". I have some CF and machined aluminum cup holders!

KonigsTiger · 04-08-2008, 12:33 PM

Well, if you have a CF splitter, roof and diffuser together with a Vorsteiner CLS style boot lid with a bit of exposed CF, then the grill may look really nice.

Pancho · 04-08-2008, 01:38 PM

Don't change the grilles. Gansta look is not nice.

KonigsTiger · 04-08-2008, 02:34 PM

Don't like the black wheels, don't like the CF hood but maybe the grilles may look well with the CF lip, roof and diffuser! I have the grilles for free, so I can just change them to see how it looks and off if I don't like them.

booforty · 04-08-2008, 03:17 PM

Wow, any more pics of the AW Concept E92 M3? What does the rear look like?

KonigsTiger · 04-08-2008, 04:45 PM

Rear has the Vorsteiner CLS boot lid, 3d CF diffuser and Remus exhuast. No I don't have a render of that but these items are on there way and should be instanlled and pained in about 3 or 4 weeks.

GewoW · 04-08-2008, 04:48 PM
