3 series v. 7 series grille - how about MORE silver

     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Hi,

Something definitely looks 'off' about the standard BMW grille on the G20 with the thick silver border and all black middle (especially when the grille vent is closed).

Most people seem to solve this by blacking out the border and going for an all black grille. This looks 'off' to me as well.

I much prefer the look of the 7 series as in the picture below. The grille is large yes, but how about just making the grille slats silver as well like on the 7 series for the G20?

Any suggestions on how to go about this, think removing and plasti-dipping silver would work? Has anyone painted the G20 grille slates silver to match the border?

Can anyone photo-shop the grille on the G20 all silver, my micro-paint quick version isn't too hot LOL.

Cheers.

The Alpina B3 was introduced with the full chrome grill, just like on the Luxury models that BMW offers in some markets.

The 330 Luxury model appears to have the all chrome grille....

All models with Luxury pack have full chrome grill, and chrome details on front and rear bumper.
