hi chaps, should be collecting my 330d next week. I want to put on black front grills which are gloss a rear boot spoiler and front lip. do I leave them mattblack paint them gloss black to match grills or colour code? car is estorial blue, I also want to colour code wing mirrors in what we decide looks best....oh 1 last thing are sills with bmw motorsport just a sticker or moulded plastic?

Spoiler definitely colour coded! They're only £70 already painted from Taiwan.

Jury is out on the front lip, completely personal preference.

Personally this is how i'd do the lip:

All black. Those two options above look cheap, especially the all painted one

I'd tell the bitch to get them hands off my paintwork.

The problem with all black I think is that in certain angles/lighting you lose parts of the front bumper, like this:

I still think that looks better than the painted one. If we all liked the same things the world would be a very boring place.

I'm not saying people shouldn't like different things, I'm just saying that's my opinion!

Matte black splitter, sills and diffuser. Colour coded spoiler. Gloss grills

I had this on the 235i, that lower area does collect a lot of crud and it was better for me to clean in the config. I think the black highlights the splitter a lot more.

ETTO of course.
