Help me decide which grille looks best
I'm leaning toward the m7 ultimate grille kit (in black) as one of my first mods for my soon to arrive brg mcsc sidewalk. do i keep the oem grill to maintain the original look, or go with blacked out grille that would match the trim, nighthawk rims and the black sport stripes?? see thumbnails, and opinions please!

My favorite grills are:
- OEM aero grill with black honeycomb, but the surround painted body color. Actually this is recommended in the official MINI aero installation instructions. Most people don't paint the surround and leave it black.
- Stock grill with black slats (what I have, pictured below). Unless you black out most of your external chrome, I think the chrome grill surround balances well with the other external chrome.

Try OctaneGuy's Black Wow product.
A lot of people have had good success using black vinyl. Mine is an actual OEM black slat grill, information here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...hp/photo/33754

Don't know if this helps but here is a pic of a BRG (I think) MCS with M7 grills and splitter.

Stock with blacked out slats is clean and semi-stock looking. Right now my upper grille is a stock jet black with a blacked out surround. see sig
Aero grille is nice plain on black, white and ds or silver cars. otherwise paint the surround body color. (or find some chrome vinyl for something totally different-they make it)
The r53 m7 grille needs a surround it looks unfinished for a street car and perfect for a track car.
that's my .02

Interesting thread, I have spent the past two years thinking about different ways to do the grill. Aero grill, aero grill with painted surrounds, M7, stock with painted surrounds. Lately I have thinking about how it would look if possible to take an '05 or '06 smooth grill surround and flushing it in to the bonnet, like the way some people have molded in their hood scoops, would probably have to grind it down so it's flush, but I think it would cool. I just like the slats.
