DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! I am so glad this little mod created quite the buzz around here

Gimlet · 03-08-2012, 04:44 PM

Okay..done. took all of 10 minutes. Half of that was getting some good lighting in my garage and getting the attachments out for the dremel. The flex-tool helps tremendously if you have one.

Crummy phone pic, but you get the idea. Will take some better pics once the weather is nicer -

looks great! Probably the most cost-efficient, easiest mod that makes a significant enough difference in looks

Gimlet · 03-08-2012, 07:23 PM

Yeah, it's weird how something so minor changes the front-end look that much. I really like the outcome and am happy I finally did it.

Does any think having mesh grill would look better.... I mean it kinda looks bare... Somehow get a mesh grill piece, i think would look very nice...

only if it was black and matched the center portion. But silver mesh or something that didnt match the middle would be tacky imo

That's what I mean. Black that matched the center portion.

Haha, yep, I'm 100% sure that was me. I go to business school there. Plus, I have the only 1-series probably in the world that looks line mine does. Here are some more photos from over the weekend. Decided to put the mesh back on, looks way better.

LOL for sure! Mine goes in next week for a new center console, i'm wondering what they are gonna say, two weeks ago my car was in there, it had my winter wheels and tires on it, stock downpipes, and stock front bumper, they are gonna be like WTF with all my new mods!

JHOOPS2 · 04-02-2012, 02:57 PM

I really like the look of it, but I just can't talk myself into pulling the trigger on cutting this. I had less qualms about cutting for the FMIC.

Luvmybmw · 04-06-2012, 09:43 AM

Has anyone had issues or problems after cutting/completing this "free" mod to their car?
