Painted Grille Surrounds PICS

So I painted the grille surrounds body color. I did it on my 135i and it looked great and I love it on the M2. Everyone does black, to played out for me.

Looks good. I was thinking about doing this with my AW.

Did you paint these yourself?

Looks good! Fits in well with MG, probably good on BSM too.

As for AW and LBB though...

Oh man that sucks. But I guess better that they take care of it now then to have an issue once you take delivery of the car. Hope it works out quickly.
