Pic request - black kidneys on sapphire or jet black 1er

I have the shadowline trim and am not sure if I want to keep the stock chrome lined kidneys (for contrast) or go with the black. Would appreciate any pics. Same for rear badging. Thanks.

Here's mine:



I plastic dipped the stock chrome grills and I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out. Here's a close up:

The stock grill on black sapphire metallic, in shadow. The chrome really stands out in shadow, which is kinda nice. I thought about getting the alternate grill but ultimately decided I like the stock unit more.

Thanks. Both look great, it really comes down to preference. Not sure which way I'll end up. Thanks all for taking the time to post up pics.

If you've the shadow line the black grills will look cleaner. Here's mine with carbon fiber grills:
