If you get the M aero kit on an alpine white 550i what color is the grill on the front of the car? Does anyone have a picture of it?

My car is arriving on the 17th of February at the NJ port and its alpine white... I dont know what would look better... a white grill or the black that they have.... I guess I'll just see what they bring me and then I can always paint it later on.

My Ride: '05 545i - scheduled for ED pickup in Munich on 7/22!
IMHO, bet on black.
The '95 M3 had the body colored front spoiler grill, while the '96-'99 ones had the black grill. Look up some pics of a white '95 M3 to get an idea of how'd it look. Black looks better.

I think the grills are all black no mater the car color. White would not look good in my opinion. It would take away from the open mouth look...it would probably look like your car has teeth.

My Ride: 2008 M5 -- Exterior: Silverstone, Interior: Black. Fully Loaded. That just about sums it up! :-)
Keep it black. It won't look so bad when it's dirty.
Can you imagine trying to keep a white grill clean???
Your car, your choice. But since you're asking I vote for keeping it black.
Cheers.
