M Performance grilles fitted

Post by tintinx5 » Fri Jun 10, 2016 2:31 pm

Was just browsing around the showroom and they had a nice discounted offer on these. Bit of a fiddle getting the original chrome surround units out but well worth it. Very pleased.

I wonder if it will look as good on a space grey car?[emoji851]

About £110 if I remember right. Got them from a dealer via eBay - cheaper than going direct!

They went on easy, it's getting the old ones off that's a pain!

I've seen some grills on eBay for nearly half that price. I'm  assuming they're rubbish ?

These look really smart I think. Has anyone got or seen the ones with the m-colours on one side of them? Can't decide if its too much or not!

I've seen them on a F15 and tbh it looked pretty naff with the m colours,everybody to their own regards to taste.

I think the chrome grills look naff on an M Sport, as there's no chrome anywhere else on the car. Chrome is for Austin Princesses and Rovers. :P

haha! Yeah the lci x3 just has that bit round the headlights, so I think you get away with the chrome, but I think the  all-black ones look pretty cool. Think I've definitely decided the m-colour ones are a bit naff now!
