New item for our W204

Hi!

A former-job colleague is designing some parts for BMW, MB and Audi, he showed me a possible project for W204: a frame for the air vents in the dashboard. He's asking me if I think that's worth enough to invest in the production of those parts. The frame is glossy black (chrome would look too bling bling?) and will improve the look of our simply air-vent design.
What do you think?????

Regards,

The quality of the picture is not good, only for showing the idea:

My colleague finds very hard to sell the frame set to 100 people, he's going to design something for the BMW 1 and 3 series. I guess he's right because here in Europe BMW has more market for these items.
