I had them before a Pigeon flew through one of them and smashed it to bits. After that I refitted the originals. Not bothered either way.

Here's a photo...

[edit] Just noticed you said "M Perf". Mine probably weren't? I'd be interested to see what they look like if not!

IMO the black grills look great on white and red but look odd on the MG but ETTO.

MG isn't dark. CB is dark. Tanzanite blue is dark, but, it works on all of them.

me too, gives some definition and has a nice contrast with dark coloured cars.
black grills do look nice on all other colours though, where you have a contrast.
