Modified my F Grill to M Sport Gloss Black
I have made yet another aesthetic change to my front bumper grill sets.
1. 1st version- Removed the Front grills and painted the silver slats gloss black and left the chrome ring OEM.
2. 2nd version- Removed the lower L and R right silver plastic grill covers and wrapped them in CF black vinyl.
3. 3rd Version- Removed the lower grill cross bars in the L and R lower grills and the black plastic separator and painted them Space Gray Metallic with clear coat, my body color.
4. 4th Revision ( final for now). Removed the F grills, removed the slats and dry and wet sanded the chrome ring to a satin finish. Spray painted high gloss black the ring and slats to match and make a M Series Sport Grill in High Gloss Black.
Due to the extreme cold weather, I am ANXIOUSLY waiting for a warm up to install them as the plastic tabs on the car are cold and possibly brittle and I fear they could break.
Installed pictures to follow.
