Thanks quiksilver1029 my question is now answered. I think the dual slats look better so you have helped me make my first mod decision.

Can anyone verify if these F22 double slats black grills are available as a GENUINE BMW part or are the ones from JBSpeed the only ones. I would much prefer to keep all part genuine on my car

Okay, so what's the best way to yank off or remove the OEM grilles? I want to remove without breaking the clips.

These instructions are close enough. You will only need to remove the 6 T30 torx screws though and just remember that after you remove the first grille, pop out the second one from its opening. No clips broken for me.

Thanks mate!
And if you have the extra hand it helps while someone is pulling the bumper open and you're i clipping the first grill

Hey man, did you ever get a chance to install those M tri-color decals on these? I've been anxious to see how they look on this

Nice! I love that.

Are the widths of each individual grille the same as the stock grille? I have some decals that fit the oem black grilles perfectly and wonder if it will be the same fit for the dual slats too.

The width of each individual slat is thinner than the oem grilles.

Where did your grille decals come from?

You should be able to do it with two stripes if you don't stretch them while applying them, making them thinner. If not then three should do the trick.

Just installed the gloss black on my GS 235 today (jbspeed). They look great. Only gripe I have is now the 3 black vents underneath in front of the radiators aren't glossy enough now....looks a bit odd I think. Anyone install the matte black here?

Sorry for the dark/ poor quality images, but here's what they look like on an EB2 car with the M stripes. I definitely like the added aggressive look
