I thought I would post what I did to the front of the car. I painted my upper grilles with trim paint and added the "M" colors. I the lower grilles I covered them with stainless mesh painted black. I believe it to be an improvement, I never liked those plastic grilles-they look cheap to me and should have been like this from the factory!!

Sorry but it's not doing much for me but then it's your car and if you like it fair enough.

The way the light falls on the mesh and it looks wavy after market cheap doesn't do it favours..
Here UK it looks a bit "Chaved up".
Defined;
"Used as a disparaging term for a poor or uneducated young person, especially one who behaves in a brash or vulgar manner and wears ostentatious clothing and jewelry."
And can be found at theme park Alton Towers, weekday when everyone else at work.

I wouldn't notice the mesh unless it was pointed out to me. The coloured grill slats are ugly though, it's something you tend see in poor areas done to tatty old BMWs. In the states you'd call it "beaner" or "ricer". Same story with the M emblem. Adding cosmetic things that didn't come on the car from the factory very rarely improves the look.
Don't you just love the sayings "each to their own" or "as long as you like it that's what matters". They are both polite ways of saying "looks like shite to me mate". 
The M coloured slats look like it needs a dentist. The lower grilles look not much different IMO. But, hey, each to their own!
