DS/B with Black scoop?

I am considering having my scoop painted black while it's in the shop next week, but would love to see a pic of one before I decide. Can anyone please help me out?

Here's a DS/B MINI with black scoop:

Oh, and lots of other black (out) mods...

How about?

DS/B with chrome grill & black scoop? I guess if I were going to paint the hood scoop black, it probably would look odd unless I got a black grill too right?

here's a pic of mine while in the shop for graphics (note the half done aero grille - might help answer your chrome Q)

I have the black scoop

with the stock grill. Am currently waffling back and forth between keeping it as it is, going for the Aero grill, or having the stock louvres painted black.

Pics in my gallery.

Thanks! Those are Kosei K1 Racing (16lbs). Light, fit over any BBK and easy to keep clean, but no longer made unfortunately. The twin spoke Kosies are lighter, but more busy looking.
That scoop is also CF, but I now have a jet black painted scoop of my own design, based on the M7 Ram scoop.

cheers,

Thanks DrPhil, it's a shame those wheels are discontinued, but they look great anyways!
