That's nice, I'm looking forward to change mine too, my car will arrive middle of Sept, got a couple of questions here
Is this color the one called something like Cerium Grey?
How about the other trim parts ? I mean, rearview mirror covers, front air intakes, also side vents on front fenders?

Hello, i talk to them to put it the same color as the inserts of the grill, pretty much is satin silver like the inner inserts on the grill, thats the only thing i did to the car.

Thanks, since my car will be mineral white, Cerium grey should make a stronger contrast, love both anyway

Thanks very much for sharing—really love the satin! Goes perfectly with the rest of the OE front end.

Thanks! I reached out to them and they said the same thing. It's a custom order. But what they quoted me was quite pricey for just a grille. I'm going to give the Cerium Gray grille a try and if the mismatch looks ugly, I might do the custom order like you did.

Mike, have you guys been asked to color match the outside border in addition to the center trim on a grill with gloss back slats? You guys did this for my current f85 and I thought it looked great and may tone down the size of the new and larger G05 grill. Woud love to see a picture if so, getting a phytonic blue 2019 msport 50i shorlty and want to swap out the chrome.

The OEM Cerium grill looks great on every color. I like the unique X5 grill, just not the bling chrome.

Agreed. I just hope it matches the other trimmings around the car, which are satin silver. I wish someone here had photos of a cerium gray grille on their car with the satin silver accents on the rest of the car so I can see if the mismatch is ugly or looks nice.

Gotcha, you have the XLine? The M-Sport is easy to pull off the Cerium grill. I added the side mirrors and left the exhaust surround chrome.

Yes unfortunately wifey doesn't like the M Sport look so we ordered the xLine. And that has the silver trimmings just below the fog lights in the front.

Quality stuff from IND, I've purchased a lot of stuff from them over the years. I think the satin silver grill might be your best match on the xLine.

I love their stuff too, but the price they quoted on a custom satin silver grille was a bit too steep. If it was as much as the cerium gray, I would buy it in a heartbeat.

Mike, if I send you my OEM chrome grille would you be able to do the same custom job on it as you did for the OP? Satin silver finish (but no center color key). It's for my Alpine White xLine I picked up yesterday. Please kindly send me a PM and let me know. Thanks!
