I think the M6 kidney would fit better (if they do at all)

unfortunately, both kidneys cost around 160€ (at least over here in Germany) - so thats a little expensive for some experimenting

Nice comparison.

Im sure they would be cheaper in the US

Haha that was fast man ! Good luck!

i will take dimensions and see, but from the pic the M6 one looks better curved.

I guess i gotta pass by the dealer in the weekend !

Would some vendor PLEASE make a double slat grille for the 1M?!

Stratus650 · 12-16-2013, 09:49 PM

Yeah man me too, Can84 was supposed to modify an M6 grill to fit the slats in the 1M, donno what he did so far.

Its a fairly easy job to be done on mass and would sell like hot cakes

There was some guy on here who had a 3D printer and this was my suggestion for a great use... Wish someone would make it happen soon.

Harlequin · 12-17-2013, 01:23 AM

I would definitely be in... Looks like sex.

Jay-K · 12-17-2013, 01:30 AM

forget the grille, the colour is awesome

Klepper1 · 12-17-2013, 07:43 AM

I would buy a set of those grills if someone made them!

Tony135 · 12-17-2013, 07:37 PM

Wow, that looks great. I can try getting these built if you guys want.

Definitely! I asked iND, but no response

I checked with IND earlier, they said they can't do it

Definitely. I think we will be lining up and throwing our money at you. I would love to see them with a cf frame and black slats if possible.

Thanks for looking into this!

My credit card is asking to be used right now. I'd do the CF but I prefer my matte that I have right now.

abirmaher · 12-17-2013, 09:26 PM

Looks awesome

Tony135 · 12-18-2013, 12:31 AM

I'll look into it guys. I have access to a 3D printer. I'll ask one of my designers to mock something up and I'll see how it comes out.

Tony135 · 12-18-2013, 12:31 AM

I may take preorders if all goes well. Not looking to make money out of it, just want a set for myself and to not lose money.

Tigumz · 12-18-2013, 02:02 AM

It appears the photoshopped version is using the grill option including night vision which has an extra wide slot on the driver's side (LHD) for the camera.

You may want to duplicate the non NV grill for uniformity, unless you plan have NV retrofitted as well! (Difficult task for an option not receiving great reviews in the F10 forum...)

Sure! Shouldn't be too difficult.

What is a price you guys would be ok with? Trying to see what kind of budget I can work with.
