Post pics of your jcw style grill pls!

Can't decide between the aero grill (lower portion requires cutting) or the jcw style grill from outmotoring. Can those of you with the jcw style version please post some pics - particularly looking for dark silver cars but anything will be helpful. Thanks!

I had to look it up on the outmotoring site, but if you can get a grille that does not require cutting that may be a good way to go. I did the factory aero grille mod and it was not that bad, you just need to be able to follow instructions and paint the portion of the bumper that is covered by the grille.


Here is the link from outmotoring;

and my car with Aero Grille:

+1 on the Factory Aero kit. Looks good on about any color and has a more matt finish, almost matching the wheel arch plastic.

Thanks and good luck on whatever you choose.

I like the aeros but I choose to go the easy route with the direct fit jcw matte.
