I am not usually one to make any changes to a car - I much prefer the stock appearance but in the case of my 3.0D E70 I just thought the grill needed a little something.

So, my answer has been to add stick on chrome styling strips to the leading edge of the black plastic grill slats.

I think this makes all the difference, what do you think?

Total cost £7 (from Ebay) for 3m of 7mm strip, 20 minutes to cut to length & apply. Cheaper than a replacement Titanium grill and, personally, I think it looks better with the Silver paint.
