Black kidney grills

2AD Tanker · 09-04-2008, 10:55 AM

Do the blacked out kidney grills match the Shadowline trim or are they a different hue/texture?

I like the look of them and I had an all black grill on my 318i years ago.

They match the shadowline trim.

The OEM ones are a match, they have a gloss to them that is similar to the trim.

I like it on most, but the contrasts like white & black it looks hot on, and as for colors, I like it on Red, SGM, and the Blues alike.

Put the grills on today

The AW looks HOT! Install took about 30 to 45 minutes.

AW with the shadowline grills does look good. Although, I am a bit biased...
