Pic request

Anyone have pictures of black tips on mineral grey?

Been thinking of these for a while, but can't visualise how they would look with this colour! Not sure if it will suit!

Thanks

Have a look at my thread (first post)

Was the first mod I did on the car!

Thanks!

Don't happen to have a pic from further away?
Still can't make my mind up!

Ive seen an F30 around with black grills on MG, not sure about that either.

Not sure if you know, but as your 330d is LCI, the black tips from the 340/M140 will fit. Look much better as they're a larger diameter.

Junebug85 where did you get your tips for £75 delivered? I have a 2017 plate 335d and when I called the dealer to enquire about the black tips I was told there were none available that would fit my car.

Really?
Won't they then be too big when fitting to the 330d pipes?

Thanks again to all those that posted pics.

Yes, they're big initially but you just bend the three clips inside. They're very secure.
