They are not something that I’d invest in because, for me, there’s no significant advantage, visual or otherwise. I’m a fan of cars being ‘bog standard’... I’m attracted to cars that have been designed and produced and look good as they are. I wouldn’t buy an Aventador and start bolting bits to it!
I can accept accessory/custom parts which are parts manufactured by the original manufacturer for that particular vehicle, or parts they they approve by third party manufacturers. BMW used to recommend AC Schnitzer parts and sell them from dealerships. I think the only reason that they no longer do is because they’ve realised there’s a market for producing their own parts, although I think that they’d do well if they produced a bigger range of M Performance parts/accessories for people like us to personalise our cars tastefully.
So far, I’ve put black grilles (OEM) on mine.
