Is it possible to fit the fender grills of an m5 to a standard sport fender? Obviously you would have to get the hole cut out, but is there any issues with this such as wiring or any other interferance behind the fender when cutting the hole? Has anyone done this or planning on getting this done? Let me know how this is done, or if you guys know any threads on this. Tried to search but cant find nothing.

I'd only maybe consider doing it if I was going all out and converting the entire car to look like an M5, otherwise it would just look silly.

take it to a body shop and they can do it.
not very expensive either.
+ it wont look right, the sidemarker is in a different position.

cool, so did you fit yours yourself or get it done from a bodyshop? If you did do it yourself can you please give more details on how you did this just as a second opinion! thanks
