IMO either one looks good on all colored cars except Sapphire black or Jet black and in that case the stock grill looks the best, it needs some contrast on those cars.

What do you guys think will look better on Glacier Silver?

I want to do the Kidney Grills, the mirror caps & the famous $89 spoiler I'm just not sure what would look better the Gloss or the Matt

FWIW, here is my '13 335i X-Drive in Glacier Silver with the gloss M Performance black grilles. I like the gloss and how it ties in with the gloss black Shadowline trim on the M Sport.

Looks really good

Are you planning to change the mirror caps to match the theme?

After looking at it some more, I like the way the mirrors are both silver (top) and gloss black (bottom), so I wouldn't want to change it.
