Cut R53 Aero Grill for JCW driving lights?

Got my Aero Bumper and and two bottom grilles installed - I love my '05 JCW (Less than 30Kmi). I now need to cut the top grille to fit the OEM driving brackets. I suppose I can just eyeball this thing and get there - was hoping somebody had a better idea... thanks

It turns out that the template # [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3][FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]01 00 0 150 961 for cutting the aero grill to fit fog lights, is no longer available - anywhere in the US. Anyone got one or have an idea of where I might get one? Please!

you can cut the picture out of the pdf instructions and blow it up to the proper size either electronically or with a copier that has zoom.

I'd just pull it - the picture cut from the page - into 'paint' and use the re-size function. Start by resizing to 300% in horz and vert and see what you get.....

it may take a couple of tries but it will work..... or find a buddy who's a computer graphic wiz..
