Here's mine if you missed my other posting...

Now we need the skirt scoops and rear foglight covers, Peter. You would sell a lot of them.

I haven't heard anything about the rear grills, but just made my own hood scoop insert from Grillcraft materials, same as M7 grills. I have some extra if you want to try your hand at it.

Damn, well I guess after sleeping on it, Peter decided no.

I'm just a bit worried how it'll look to have the M7 metal grilles on the front and the OEM plastic, honeycomb ones in back. I guess it's not as much of an issue for you, Flaco, since you have the JCW aero kit.

I'll only be changing the grilles out come Spring when I install the ALTA FMIC though, so there's plenty of time...

Thanks a ton for offering, but I wouldn't know the first thing to do with the material. Couldn't even install my boot stripes and it took me two tries just to get the actual size sticker right! My intelligence clearly doesn't transfer over to working with my hands car wise.

Thank's for asking......

We are not expecting production of rear grilles for at least a year, as sales
of the front grilles are fairly slow in the begining of a new product cycle.

With that said if enough customers call for this particular item....who knows

Just my two cents, but sales may be slow because some peple don't want to commit to a front grill design without knowing if they are going to be able to match it with the rear.

I know thats why I'm waiting to pull the trigger. I would rather have the car in the shop for the complete install, and would like to know I will have the matching rear. The R53's Ive seen on the street with upper, lower, rear, and scoop look great!

See my thread in For Sale area. I have the Aero grills, including the fog lamp covers and don't need them on my new car.

Bump!

I know this is a long-shot, but what about the little plastic insert in the rear bumper of the jcw aero kit? Is there anywhere that we could get just the material and try rig it ourselves?

So when you commit to these you really are in it for sure. No turning back. You have to cut the crap out of your oem stuff. They look so nice, but I would have trouble I think with that cutting stuff. Anybody out there have these other than M7? If so post pics. On an R56 only please.

i have the grill material and surround material if you want to try. I'm not very good at finishing stuff, so maybe you could make it work. I will give it to you really cheap. Pm me if you are interested.

I saw Peter's car on sunday during the Paddle Shifter demo and he now has the fog light covers as well for the front of the JCW kit.

Is there any chance we could get the lower JCW grill without the fog light covers though? I'm really not a fan of those but I really want to upgrade my grill.
