QuickPix - Shadowline Grill on TiAg

If you ever wonder what Shadowline grill looks on a TiAg 135i, here it is. In my opinion the car looks much cleaner. I have also debaged the 135i designation and painted it black, but may leave them off since the rear looks smooth as a baby's back right now.

Is that a clear bra I see? Where did you get the grill and how much?

Looks good, Robert, can we see the rear? The shadow-line grills work well with the lighter colors.

VERY clean look, gotta love the TiAg/black theme. Some black wheels and tint would take your beautiful car to another level. :headbang:

looks very clean. i wonder what it would look like with the 128 grill (chrome outline, shadow grill). btw, i love the first shot. for some reason, i just love that tall look. just so sporty and aggressive

"TiAg" is short for Titanium Silver, based on their respective abbreviations in the periodic chart of elements.

This naming convention seemed to be adopted with little respect for my preferred alternative, "180.94788/107.8682," which, as we all know, is based upon the elements' respective atomic weights.

And, may I add, your 180.94788/107.8682 is bitchin'!

My thoughts exactly. I've yet to see it on a SGM car. I'm not sure it would look as good because it would be less contrasting.

I'm not a big fan of the shadowline grill. It looks OK on white and black, but on most other cars it looks a little off. I'm not a huge fan of the full chrome look either, but the all black just looks a little odd.

Personally I'm looking forward to someone selling a grill with black grates but the outer ring color keyed to the paint. I saw a photo with a 3 series with a grill like that and it looked really nice. I might also consider buying the shadowline grill, and using the black grates from it with the chrome ring from the standard grill. (they're two separate pieces, so they can be mixed and matched)

Surname, here's a shot of the rear debaged.

Bought it from AndyM from the sales area of the forum. I remember it's around 70s after shipping.
