I want to wrap the outer lip of the kidney grill to match my car, and the inner fins matte black. The other option is to go to a shop and have it painted, but I wanted to get a feel for what it would look like before doing a permanent solution.
I am guessing the 3M white aluminum from photos I've seen. I've ordered a ton of samples whilst contemplating which to use on my interior trim, and just dont want to order another sample, and am hoping maybe someone else has done a side by side comparison.
Obviously I don't expect exact match.
Thanks!

If you want the inner slits matte black, I would recommend taking apart the grill to remove the outer border. Then, get a can of plasti-dip from Lowe's or Home Depot and use that. It's a non-permanent solution like you prefer. As far as the outer border, wrapping it might be a bit tricky but is very doable. I'm not sure what vinyl "matches" TiAg, but carbon fiber looks good on all colors IMO, especially if you have other CF accents. Good luck!

I think I am going to just go ahead and have them paint matched after seeing this photo.

Man I painted mine black, but a few interstate road trips ruined them with chips. I ended up ordering the High Gloss Black grilles from the M5. They look amazing on Titanium Silver Metallic IMO.
They were around $120 from www.getBMWparts.com
If you decide to get yours painted, please snap some pics!
