That looks fantastic. I saw some of your earlier posts and the prep work that you did and knew it would be first class. Great job!

The M7 grilles look awesome! Looks like you were using the Dremel. Is that a mod the average guy can tackle on his own? Any tips/lessons learned? Thanks

Nice job. Pretty cool the way you painted the wheel arches and bumper trim.

Thank you very much....we are hard core enthusiasts and we take great pride in our hobby/bussiness. We like to do it right and try to add a spin with some class. We are getting ready to paint the wheels black and install the coil overs. Should really set off the body. Will post when were done..

You need basic mechanical skills to do the install. It is not difficult, just take your time. You do not jave to dremel the grill if you dont want to...its not a must do but looks better and will match the lower grill. Cutting the mesh from the origional grill it not difficult, you need the correct attachments or it will be difficult to cut out.

I used a large cutting disk then used a course drum sanding attachment to smooth all the areas where I cut the grill out. It took about 30-40 minutes to prep it

Damn...I like the grills. I wish I would have done that when I got my JCW kit done. Well another thing to add to the ever growing list of "wants".

Thanks for the post.

GREAT JOB!!!!
