Aero Grill on Dark Silver/White top? Yay Nay?

I hijacked this image from ThumperMCS but this is pretty much how my car will look like stock. Would the black aero grill throw the look off?

I dont care for the aero grill unless it's paired up with the full aero kit.

Alone, I think it clashes pretty bad and cheapens the look.

Just one opinion

don't let anyone stop you from making your own statement!

here's mine, although it's not the aero grille, it is similar enough that you can make your own judgement.,...


btw, this is the M7 grille collection in the front... before my splitter went on as i think that's what you are looking for

kryiian, Sweet ride! Nice colors

I was leaning towards the grill and wanted to get some feedback since i dont have my mini until December. But here is the pic that inspired the color combo and potentially the grill.

It won't look bad, several people have done it.. Have you considered getting the black slat grills? It would look a bit sportier cause of the black but not too much.. just another suggestion.. Aero grills look good though, especially with the surround painted body color

Another alternative is the silver M7 lower and/or upper front grill.
