You're going to have to wrap those pork chops. The black ones are impossible to find. BMW discontinued them. It's a cheap DIY project and they are so low and hidden if the wrap isn't perfect, you won't see it. You can get the gloss 3M on Amazon for cheap and plenty of it for trial and error. That is what I would do, but I personally like the Cerium Gray bits (that's what it is called, not copper). My knee jerk when I took delivery, like you, was to delete all the Cerium. Glad I didn't, I think it distinguishes it. A lot of people immediately associate it with Chrome and want to get rid of it, it is far from the cheap plastic chrome look. I am personally glad I lived with it and grew to love it. Goes with the 668's which are also Cerium. There are just a lot of blacked out cars out there, so it's nice to have something a little different. The only thing I did change was the grill because I thought the cerium trim around it made the nose look Lincoln-ish.
