The grille was not removed. The other stuff were.
No point cleaning the car right now, terrible weather at the moment.
In person, I think the black rings around the headlamps make the lamps look smaller (on my brg) and slightly out of proportion. The same as on cars with colorcoded rings.
but in other ways it looks better than chrome...

even more, when the car is clean
I trink it's a little bit to much an BRG.
-
I like it, but I think without the bonnets, or with bonnets in black it will bei much better.

after looking at it a few times.
it's too colorful for me. i would go with a black roof and black bonnets as well for the brg/black look.regards,
enjoy christmas holidays! -
Thanks for your feedback!
I know most people would prefer black roof on this car, especially with the black wheels. But I am NOT NORMAL
This is my inspiration, and the look I am after. An extra modded WC50-edition.
Black mirrors will probably be my next step. -
Mods I want to do:
black mirrors
Jcw pro lip front (DONE)

It now feels like a sports car. I am now the limitation, not the car -
I had a loaner car yesterday when I did a small spot repair on the rear-door, an blazing red f56 S.
The options really make or break the car too me! It had the standard sport steering wheel, the piano black panels, and the black half-leather seats. It felt like a car of half the price of mine, too me.
The JCW Steering Wheel, the dark silver panels, and the black pearl cloth/leatherette is in another league.
I have not seen another car with black pearl seats in Sweden yet. Not many people seems to order it. I find it strange. It has this really nice texture, feels high class. Pictures does not make it justice, maybe thats is why it is so rare? -
I also have the leatherette seats and they're awesome! Most of the people seating on it said that as well. But you're right, they're kinda rare.
