Very nice, TopCat! Looks even better on a blue car. Did you paint the bumpstrips and bumpers black too?
The bumpers are original mat and look OK- but the bumpstrips have been painted a horrid black spangly paint (same as the window frames) which is why we did them again in satin black
will probabaly replace the bumpstrips with std black unpainted ones IDC
currently debating whether we should put a std grill back in?

Stick with the black imo. There's no other chrome for a std grill to match to? (Appreciate we sound a bit like women here.. 'Oooh that doesn't match!' - ' That looks lovely!')

I dislike de-chromed kidney grills. They're an iconic part of all BMW's and dechroming them looks a bit too ''late 80's e30'' to me, but what do I know? It's all personal choice.

Amen, Mark! But your right as well in saying it's a matter of personal choice..
