    A gloss black would look good, bars only of course.

    Posting your $0.02 is pointless without voting.

    White is much cleaner. On my white MK3 I have a two bar badgeless with the bars painted black and it looked like its missing a grille from a distance. Got it painted.

    I voted, but I'm not sure what your car looks like...Can you post a pic?
    BTW, If your car is white, the white grill would look sick. However, you have to think about rock chips, etc...just my $.02...Plus I am old so my $.02 dosen't amount to much
