    If you plan on putting black rims/painting the bumper by the fog lights black, I'd go for the black grille, but otherwise, chrome/gunmetal.

    I think blue with blacked out grill/wheels/trim looks pretty good... Obviously.

    That looks cool,but I have chrome mirrors and chrome trims , I don't want to black out everything on a car,that's why I was thinking to go with a chrome grill.

    Alu to match window trim. Or black if you're gonna wrap the trim black. Wheels don't gotta match anything IMO.

    Spacers alone would be nice, but you know a drop is what you really want.

    I imagine gunmetal is like your current grille. Aluminum looking border with grey insides.

    I'd go alu on the grill if you like the look and esp if you didn't plan on doing anything with the mirrors or side window trim. See how it looks and maybe black out the fogs with something easy like black electrical tape as a test to see how it looks and then maybe permanent.

    Otherwise I'd go black grill, fogs and black out the side trim and maybe paint/wrap the mirrors body color.

    I agree. Current colors flow very nicely. I wouldn't change trim to black. Maybe only getting the RS5 grill in same alu color.
