Aero Grill for R50, or..?

I really like the look of the "honeycomb" style grill I see on MCS's around town, and hate the "slats" I currently have on my '06 R50. I am looking at the Aero Grill (upper only for ease of installation) at OutMotoring.

Does anyone have pictures of this installed on a Justa? I'd love to see how it looks before I pull the trigger on the order. Alternately, are there any other grills out there I should consider?

That looks great! Is that the Aero grill from OutMotoring? Was the install of the upper pretty quick and easy? How about the middle?

The upper one is a straight replacement! The middle one on the other side isn't, if the Cooper bumper is anything like the S bumper, you need to modify both bumper and grill so it fit! N2MINI have the Aero bumper which is made to received the grill!

Ahh, thanks for the clarification! I don't think I'm up to cutting anything, I may just get the top grille for now.

If just doing the upper grille you could always cover the small one in black vinyl so it would somewhat match. I did both grilles like that before getting the aero kit..

Indeed, it's the way I did it at first! I fitted the center grill last month, didn't care much about the bumper since it's cracked and want to change it later! For dannyhavok if he want to have an idea about doing the upper one without doing the center grill!



I painted the center one with plastidip!
