Aftermarket front end kit in the works

Browsing instagram #f56 photos and ran by this. Looks like Duall is coming out with a front end kit. Looks a little busy but I think once painted it will look great. Definitely an improvement over stock. Anyone else have more info on this? their website doesn't say much of anything

Thanks for the link figured someone knew something about it. From the looks of the r56 stuff on their site it looks like it's going to be unatainably expensive... Plus you gotta paint it

Yuk! WAY bulky looking from the horizontal grill slats down. The lower half looks so god awful big that it looks like it was designed for a much larger car. Maybe like a Subaru WRX. I surely hope someone else does a front end conversion kit that more proportionately blends with the size of the car. JMO.

Yea I hear you... Honestly I thin it will looks night and day when its painted and color matched but I do think its still a bit too busy looking. Im sure someone will make something nice in time, and probably for a fraction the cost.

Looks like an old fashion push car from a demo derby race!

Well, surely those wanting a different front end will see something nice designed at some point. Mods like this for the F56 may take a bit of more time as demand for these parts increases.
