Black or White Grill ??

Ok as usual, I cann't stop tinkering with my Land Rovers.

Decided I'd try out a black grill.
Had std wheels on when I fitted it, but wasn't sure so took it back off after a few days.
Then yesterday I took off my 'very stylish' [ie Gay] wheels and put the 'Darth Vader LTZ Stormers' back on.
Now refitted the black grill and beginning to like it.

So what do you reckon - black or white?

Each to their own... and, as a styling exercise, I quite like the black. Funny thing is, it makes it look more like a D3... or should I say, like one of those D3's that's trying to look like a D4, if you know what I mean.

So personally, I'd stick with white, but then again it's your car and you can do what you want. Can't tell if the wheels are 'Gay' or not, they just look like black holes! Laughing

These are the Darth Vader black holes CC - not the err 'very stylish' ones Wink

Know what you mean re D3 styling & agree, but I thought a bit more D2.

I like the white one better, makes the black inner part stand out more.

White IMO, definately D4 and not a tarted up D3 then. Each to their own though, if your plate was age related it would not matter as it would be clearly D4 and you could wear either grille:thumbsup:

I voted black. But quite like both looks.

Why don't you just keep both and swap them over every now and again? It's a bit like having two of anything - you can like them both. 2 watches, 2 favourite suits / shirts / restaurants etc.
