How are you guys getting rid of the chrome pieces on the X MR?

Did Mitsu really have to go that extra mile to make it look cheeseyyy..?!
Any solutions especially for the chrome on the window strippings would be much appreciated...

I did a cheap and simple and reversible way...go get a huge piece of 3M matt black wrap, cut out the shape and pasted over all the chrome and gunmetal bits. Once you are sick of black, tear it off again.

Doesn't mean he has to like it.

I too think the chrome looks cheap.

On the BWM forums, there are several persons who have used plasti-dip to color the chrome pieces black. Apparently it is reversible, too.

The only chrome I notice is on the front and I actually like it. The window stripping chrome is barely noticeable IMO.

I never noticed the chrome on the windows. Now that you've pointed it out to me, I think it looks pretty bad.

the cheap chrome and the poorly painted vents on the MR look horrible IMO.
