Black grille - Carbon Black M550? Does it work?
Guys,
Wanted to poll the audience. What are people's thoughts on black kidney's on a carbon black car when the other trim pieces are still cerium? Does it look odd and out of place? Has anyone here done it? Also, how do people feel about the addition of M badges on the fenders in cerium grey, as comes standard on the EU and Canadian cars? I tend to think it's a nice touch. Finally - what kind of license plate frames are people using? An "M," plate might be a bit much, though appreciate it's obviously not the sacrilege as putting a full blown "M5," plate frame on. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

Absolutely, the black grill makes the cars front. I also like the side M badges, which at least are European standard so don't feel too far off base. An M plate is starting to get into overkill, IMHO.

I think I should go with the Cerium grille for contrast.
I got the 688M rim - which I'm excited about, although admittedly I live in the northeast, which is a challenge with low profile tires. There aren't nearly enough rim notions in my opinion. What do people make of the cerium fender badges that are offered in Europe and Canada?
