Hi, guys

i am thinking that change my kidney grill.

However it is very hard to pick, because i do not have any chance to see in real.

Therefore, i tried to look up some pictures of Monaco blue e90 pre LCI those changed their kidney grills.

Most of them that i could find was matt black grill...

Personally, i do not think the matt black color died with Monaco blue.
i know it is very good with many other colors...

therefore, i did some research and these are my option; Gloss black grill, Painted grill, and CF grill.

any monaco blue e90 pre LCI guys can upload the pic if you guys changed it among those option?

it was very hard to find... i need your help...

thanks for your time.

P.S. also if you guys can give me some feedback where i can get it as good quality, no cheap chinese ebay stuff.

You can't go wrong with gloss black.

I think matte black might be OK because you have matte black trim. if you go with glossy grille you'd probably be better with somehow upgrading the window trim as well (wrap it?)

Go through this thread, may be you'll find more. http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...?t=244&page=19

Here's one with matte grilles, I think it looks great on Monaco actually.



Hard to tell, may be matte, may be gloss! I think gloss based on reflections being similar near the badge area...



here's CF?

you are so fucking nice... those picture helped me alot...

i got my CF mirror cover, so i will probably get CF grill, hope it will look together.

also, i love the way it look with CF grill on the pic...

but seems like more people like matte black more here...

i still personaly think matte black is not bad but the color is not very good contract with monaco blue...

looks like its cheap plastic on monaco blue...and this is very personal taste...no offence, actually i'm very thankful you all who try to help me out.

is that matt black grill?

[edirtaynine]

did you bold those specific words on purpose?

anyway, gloss black would look best in my opinion. and then matte black second. i think cf grilles look cheezy.

I like painted grills honestly. First mod I did to me car.

+1.

I did mine body color. But I have an E93 Monaco Blue not E90. However, I get compliments on it all the time. Most people have matte or gloss black. Body color looks better in my opinion.
