Thumbs up Need your opinion please

Hey guys,
My car has all-black front grill's and I was thinking in changing the color to the factory semi-mate silver.
Here is a 3 car picture of all possible options, even the one I have now. I put all together for easy comparison.
By the way, my car is Alpine White
Please tell me which one you like most ?
Thanks in advance !
Bernie

Hey Bernie,

As you know, I got a 08 X5 with AW. I painted the kidney grill to silver by myself. The other two grills are silver as part of the sport package.. Personally, I like silver better in all of the grills.

Hope give you some idea..

Raymond

Thanks Raymond, I'm still confused on what to do about the grills since I like both looks.....my project is to install Y shape # 214 20" wheels ( just bought them) and also Im planning to paint the roof all black, remove the roof racks to give the car a more agressive look, after all I see my X6 more like a sports car than an SUV or SAC or NBC or CBS......or whatever BMW wants to call it.
Thanks !
check these pictures ( very small ones taken with my cell phone) I put some black adhesive on the roof just to see the result before painting it, and I like it.
Also check the last picture from my former Audi A6, I did paint the roof in black with a nice result
Bernie

I like the bottom black/white shot, sort of looks like a stormtrooper to me, other than that I'd go with the middle one, the full silver version looks a bit over the top with white, not enough definition on it.

Mine will be black and have the full silver front, I'm looking at going the other way, putting on the black slatted kidney grill to make it less nostril-ie as it seems to stand out more on the darker colours.

I like the middle shot, I think the silver mesh is a bit much. What's your window trim? Do you have a sports package or the chrome trim?

You gave me a great idea, is just a matter of finding the right material and the right person for the job, also doing it on a roof must be easier than the pictures you sent me, thats a crazy job on that 335i !!
Thanks for the tip
