What say ye merry gentlefolk; black or chrome grill surround FTW?

Update: so at the close of voting it seems all black is the popular choice, closely followed albeit by chrome. Interesting.
Thanks to all who voted :thumbsup:

Personally, I went all black and think it looks ace, but Smelf36's Christmas goodies thread seems to suggest that the camp is split.
Thus, make your vote.... :driving:

Really? I do not concur with this hypothesis! :lol:
I think black looks good/modern with all colours and chrome can be limited perhaps.....

Chrome on silver/white cars.
All black or chrome/black on dark ones.
Definitely depends on the car colour imo.

Modern? Aren't 'black editions' just a ploy to get rid of old tat. A bit 2014. My black wheels are going the minute the nicer weather comes in May. We'll all be sticking Nurburgring and VXR on our Z's next. More :fuelfire: :fuelfire:
