Just wondered if anybody has tried to replace the lower original mtech meshgrille with a M5 one?
Personally I like that the meshholes are larger on the M5. Could it be fitted on a mtech bumper?
What do you think?

Umnitza has it, too bad only for the M5 Bumper.
I wish they had the one for E60 Mtech.

not a big fan of the stainless steel or chrome look but black or dark color looks good

Maybe something like this could be used:

Could be cut to fit the mtech bumper.

i just purchased mesh material from this site. im going to be adding a mesh to my acs lip grill section and possibly the kidneys. they give several different mesh option but the best one i found is the woven wire.
