My Ride: 2008 535i Alpina White / Natural Brown Dakota, 550 19" Wheels, M5 Rear Spoiler, 40% Lumar Tint....M Tech Kit on the way!

So I received my CF blackout grill and installed it immediately. I like the look but I've been considering using the inside part of the chrome grill (it has some chrome in front of the "ribs") with the CF circular outside part.

To me this seems to be a perfect combination of elegance and racing.....or would it just look weird?

Any comments and or opinions are welcomed!

TIA..
