I'd prioritise your reg plate first!

I agree with Cab, the originals date the car a bit, but then black looks a bit ganster...Ive had the same issue with my E39 grilles and cant bring myself to put back on the chrome even though Im not overly pleased with the black either (matte)...that said, if I got gloss black and detailed the car it would be a lot better.
Catch 22, but I think the black is slightly better...but the changing back and forth isnt a killer job!
