Painted grills w/poll
 

Alright guys I got some OEM 04-06 grills off of eBay and painted them to titanium in color, I did this so I would still have my OEM matte black 3.0 ones just in case.

Now here is the final result, do you guys like it? If not I still have the original ones which I can throw back on anytime :thumbup:

Can't really tell that close up. How about some pictures showing more of the X? :dunno:

Pic one is ebay product
Pic two is re-done
Am i right?

haha no its the same grill in both pics, i'm sorry guys these are some quick and dirty pics. The grill is actually OEM painted silver, oh and michelle I will take some more proper pics soon

alright looks like its split down the middle :( is it the paint I used? I could probably find a slightly darker shade of silver, I actually got the inspiration from juniorX5er from x5drivers, his looks a better because of the black combo.

could u put up some shots of what it looked like with black so we have some comparison too?

definitely keep the silver...

Love it, keep the silver. I pick my X5 up on saturday and this is the first mod I will do. What paint brand and color did you use? I see some on ebay that are silver and some champange. What is the factory color.

It's funny, I had a 74 Bavaria with slender silvered kidneys that I painted black to look more modern (and it did look great) and now I am going from black to silver. NE1 use any clear coat on top of the silver?

titanium looks the best..........:popcorn:
