You bought the chrome pieces and decided you didn't like the effect? Wrong for your color combo? Too shiny? It is chromed plastic, no?

I've considered the grill trim only on my white/silver smart. Would like your feedback. Am leaning toward not adding 'shiny' elements to the exterior.

Somehow the few photos with the grill trim installed fail to convey the unique characteristics of chrome. It could be nice... not sure.

No... The Chrome looks really sharp on the Smart especially if you have chrome wheels.

I purchased new wheels that are not chromed and I am not going to chrome them. For my Smart I think with my new wheels it best not to have any Chrome.

I would not hesitate to get the Chrome if you like the Bling :)

Hope this helps.

A question for you? How long did it take to swap out your panels and did you sell the Silver ones?

The panels were swapped at the dealer. It took all day, due to other work the tech had to complete and was a no-charge swap under special circumstances.
