I would like to replace the oem front grille for a couple reasons:
1. The design is a little boring
2. I hate cleaning the tiny spaces between the slats.

I want to stay with gloss black, and found these two options pictured below. Does anyone have either of these grilles (even in cf), and can you post pics?

One appears to be two pieces while the other is one piece. I'm assuming the front fascia needs to be removed for the swap. Does it matter if the replacement is 1-piece or 2 separate pieces?

I don't know that I care if I keep the front M2 emblem in the grille, so I'm leaning toward the option without, though it's about $150 more.

Appreciate your experiences with either or opinions.

I got the TRE CSL cf grille from AUTOID. It should be going on next week or weekend

I got the Chinese version of the 1 piece grill you posted but in carbon fiber instead, though the csl type grill is nice I still think this one flows better with the car.

I also managed to get a front emblem on the grill, though a silver ine would’ve stood out more

That looks great! How was the install & fitment. I'm sure they're all from the same Chinese manufacturer, but I don't see any gloss black popping up on Ali or ebay yet.

Install and fitment was surprisingly good, the m2 badge has been in there for a month with the adhesive it came with holding strong

There were no issues with installing the Autoid grille.. I had the car wrapped so the front bumper was coming off and I thought it was a good time to make the change...The factory unit is one piece and the Autoid unit is two pieces but you would never know it till you go to make the swap...
