i would DEF just paint the chrome parts (the rings and the outer trim)...you can remove both pieces fairly easily with a couple small screw drivers....prep it with some 220 grit sandpaper (although i actually had to use 100 grit on the outer trim piece)....clean the pieces with some alcohol...spray on a primer coat..wait a day...lightly wetsand the primered pieces with some 220 grit paper, then spray on a few base coats...finish it up with a gloss coat or two, and you've got a beautiful, custom grill that no one else has...

I think the black is cool, even on a silver car...it makes the grill look bigger.. = more agressive, sportier.

eww maybe the mirrors but dont paint the m3 lip a diff colour than your car.. that wouldnt look good, IMO. the mirrors the grill the wheels... sure. but leave it at that

And to the above question, no, I wanna leave my rings silver. I like the rings

audiboy... what kind of signal bulbs do you have? do they light up orange? I cleared my corners today... but still have orange bulbs. I want something that doesnt look orange, but will light up orange... i think such a thing exists
