Very nice job!

Looking at the grill in the sick.bmp file, I can tell that it's not OEM and part is from eBay. I bought both OEM and eBay version and found that OEM has only 1mm edge while eBay version has a rounded edge to accomodate the cut edge.

Have you done this mod? It's odd that the OEM kit comes with a template when the stock M5's already have the holes. Is eBay the better choice as in easier to do? Also do all the eBay kits (CF ones) come with the plastic inserts that go in the hole?


Thanks
