If you want to make the "German Flag M" , shouldn't it be done on something else than a black grille?(I know it's been done but for non-bmw owners it just looks like a yellow and red stipe ???? ) The effect is kinda lost because we loose the black stripe over a black grille....It would look much nicer if you used the original M colours ( Blue/blue/red) over a black background. IMO, I wouldn't do neither one but to each his own....
