I've searched the entire forum for someone who swapped out the stock chrome grille on their G05 xLine with the cerium gray grille to see how it would look, but couldn't find a single one! I only found M-Sports. So, I decided to try it on mine and share. It's nighttime, so I can't tell how this will look under the sun during the day, but it actually looks better than I thought it would. I was scared the cerium gray wouldn't match the satin silver accents throughout the rest of the car, but it actually looks just fine. Thoughts?
I will post daytime photos also.

It's been raining everyday so haven't really taken any nice daytime shots except for the one below. Unfortunately I see the mismatch clearly now and wifey doesn't like it, so going to put the original back on and sell mine. Let me know if interested.

Of course! They have the other trims for the front in cerium gray, but then I thought it won't match the silver trimmings around the windows, the roof rail, etc. I would rather have the grille in satin matte silver so it matches perfectly with the other trimmings.

Cerium grey is primarily reserved for M Performance vehicles, but was featured on the last gen X6 xLine that's no longer in production. Perhaps there will be more aftermarket mods for xLine trim on eBay.

Another daytime photo. Definitely starting to scream mismatch. Haven't had a chance to put original grille back on.
