Finally got around to fitting the m5 fender grills. Took me around 3 hours each side and around 25 cut off discs, but im happy with the result. Its quite a simple job but you just have to have patience. A big thanks to xenonrider and nixgoof for the advice. Hope you like......

Nice job! Looking forward to mine getting done tomorrow.

From the pic, it looks like you removed the part where you would stick a badge/sticker on? Was that hard to remove?

I hav'nt removed that part, its still on there. I just didnt put the m5 badge on for obvious reasons (my cars not an m5 lol). I've left it blank at the moment, waiting for my custom badges to come through.

And I am assuming you used the same distance for cut as xenonrider suggested?
