Black or Chrome Grill
I have an '07 Seafrost Green Coupe. Which do you think would look better the OEM Chrome or OEM black grill. Is the black actually wire that anodized or something?
I plan to leave the bottom as-is. It's hard for me to imagine the seafrost green with the chomre grill. Does anyone have a picture of this combo?

I personally prefer to see contrasts between various parts of a car. For me contrasts bring out the styling and design details. So, I have a Emerald Fire green XK, that is really a fairly dark green and I think the chrome grill provides for a better contrast than the original black grill. With your light frost colored car, the black should provide good contrasts, and without actually seeing both, I would guess that is what I would prefer.
If you're willing to put out the costs for the chromed Mina screen, you can see it by overlaying the factory black grill with the Mina. That way you can view and decide which you like. The Mina installs right over the factory screen, or if you prefer the factory grill after all, you can return the Mina.

Have you considered having your grill painted to match your cars color?
The light color Seafrost and Black grill would be an interesting look, I don't think I'd personally go for that. I'm probably in a small minority, but to me the black grills look good on black cars, but not much else.

Tag along grill question if I may...
Insurance is replacing my OEM grill due to damage. I have asked if I can pay the difference for the OEM wire grill, and was told yes.
With a silver XK I was thinking to just go chrome... yes/no?
Also. a search on the forum shows the upper as "Chrome Upper Mesh Grille p/n C2P9190" but I need the badge mount, and badge as well, correct (my 07 has the winged emblem)? Anyone have numbers for those?
Thanks all (and especially to mosesbotbol for letting me tag along with his question)

Wish this forum had better pictures area, and that folks would stop using fuzzy cell phones as a camera....
