Hi . . . I ordered a white MC (black mirrors and roof) with the option of black bumper inserts - on a whim! This will either look terrifically sharp . . . or flat out goofy! Anyone have a picture of the black inserts, preferably on a white MC???? Would help me out. Thanks in advance . . .Peter

I don't have a picture of my baby (peper white, black top, black mirrors). But the black inserts is the only way to go with this color combo. I traded an Audi A4 (Pearl White) for it and abosolutely love it. On a side note, the chrome inserts are a ***** to keep clean. I'm just waiting for spring so I can give it a good wash before taking a picture :smile:

peterun,
i did the exact same thing. there were no cars on the lot (or on the net for that matter) with the black inserts, but on the pepper white it just seems right. plus, i figure if i don't like them i can switch to the chrome if i have to. i haven't received my car yet, but i should in a week or two. i will take pics for you then...if you can wait that long.

I happen to be rather partial to the chrome. Actually it 's very easy to clean and completes the classy look of Pepper White. Offsets the black trim nicely....

Cheers!
Bill

the black looks good,
but the chrome looks better!
b.t.w. the chrome isn't hard to keep clean, the wheels are another story!

Please excuse the quality, but here is a very poor idea of what it would look with black.

if i had the black inserts, i'd have to install the aero grills instead of the chrome ones!
that would look sweet!
