Illuminated Kidney Gill on G06 M50i
So, I was hoping to order a blacked-out G06 M50i with the Illuminated Grill; however, I noticed that:
A. There is NO Metallic Black Color option B. The illuminated Kidney Grill is Cerium Grey along with the other Shadowline options - including the side mirrors. The only way to get a blacked out look is to choose the Extended Shadowline option-with no Illuminated Kidney Grill. Am I understanding this set correctly? Lastly, I build a G06 using the "Manhattan Green Metallic" same color in the release videos, and noticed that's the only color that has a good contrast- to me. The other colors don't look that hot with the Cerium Grey Illuminated Kidney Grill & Shadowline. Crazy |

So, go to RealOEM and pull up the car and see if the illumination is a separate piece and part number in which case you may be able to at least change the grill out for an aftermarket black one and have the lighting behind it. Won't solve the other Shadowline parts though. |

Unfortunately it's true. It's a shame though because that would've been one hell of a look.

From the video, the illuminated grill is pretty underwhelming.
It is indirect lighting unlike the Mercedes illuminated star. Guess have to see it in real life, but I think it won't be very noticeable. |

Pythonic blue looks good with Cerium Grey as well as Carbon Black.

Perhaps the interior portion is that color for additional illumination/reflective properties. No idea but just a thought otherwise if it is only for looks then have a shop paint it gloss black to match.

If it was all blacked out, perhaps then you would be just complaining that the illumination is not visible at all

This is the first time I've seen one this way, looks pretty good. I'm thinking of having mine wrapped in Carbon fiber and was wondering how it might look. This give me a pretty good idea. I wasn't planning on doing the insides as I wanted the contrast.
