On mine I painted it dark gray, with standard flat paint (primer actually - paint straight to the plastic will chip in no time) and no extra strips.
That looks awesome on your car. I worry about doing this on mine... I feel like it'll look too distracting. I think the dark plastic looks downright awful against some car colors. Too obvious or something.

I dunno. It might look really sweet on mine. My new car is this color:


Dark grille? Yes or no?? With blacked out headlight doors? I think I like yours MBeige b/c you don't have matching american headlight doors that have been blacked out. The euros compliment that darker plastic very well without making the front of the car look overbearing.
