I like it in a way, but not sure if I should leave it all black. What do you guys think about it?

All black. As white it looks kind of "too" white against the car.

how about you have the whole grill painted gloss or matte black then paint the two large slate white? take a look at what i did with my matte gray metallic vinyl wrap...i did the grills gloss black and wrapped the two slats matte grey metallic...its VERY clean. might work well with white too (thats where i got the idea from anyway...a guy on M5 board did it)

https://5series.net/forums/topic/119...st__p__1428175

either way keep experimenting!

I like the original black better. I think the white on white makes it look like a fake stick-on grill. Thanks for posting for all to see!
