Zunsport mesh grilles

Evening all

Has anyone fitted these or any product from Zunsport? Particularly interested in the blacked out version but if you do have the ‘silver’ one - does it look like it can be etched and painted?

The price is unqualified as I can’t tell the quality.
 
I had them in mine and the lower section. Opinion was divided, I think they're a bit marmite.

The grilles actually sit over the orginal slats, but I didn't like that so butchered a pair or two and removed them for full effect. Below are the best images I can find.

I have Zunsport grilles in the front of the 911 and the large lower one in the E86. Good quality in my opinion. I would guess you could use etch primer and then paint it. They are made of stainless steel so a suitable primer is vital otherwise the paint won't stick.
 
Thinking of buying a lower one for my E85 in Black. Only because I have a crack in my existing plastic grille and being able to fit the Zunsport over the other one means I don't have to wrestle the broken one out. I think there is a code on here somewhere that gets you 20% off for forum members. :roll:
 
Thank you everyone.

Idej-24 I’m not following you. When you say you hacked out two slats do you mean two of the vertical slats? It sounds like it relies on clipping to the rim somehow.

Blunderthumbs thank you for then20% tip. I’ll look into that. Defo.

Thank you all.
 
I have a set that came with my car and are in perfect condition. Photo attached of them fitted. The ZunSport Decal is no longer on the lower grille because I found it very distracting so removed it. You could stick an ///M badge on there!!! haha. The Mesh for the Kidney Grilles just clips on but the lower grille has to be screwed into the BMW standard grille (of which I also have a spare) Make me an offer if you're interested in them. Based in Bucks if that helps. Cheers

I hacked out all the slats to get the full effect of the grilles
Otherwise you can see the slats through the mesh fronts...doesnt look as good imho. :thumbsup:

Don't forget to post pics of the new grilles if you decide to go with them. :thumbsup:
 
They’ve arrived! I’ve ordered a tin of sapphire black paint to go over them and then will have to wait for our smart guy to spray his excellent lacquer over them. I didn’t know but rattle lacquer clouds after a while as it’s different.

Cut out the slats and in they go.

Will put a pic up after they’re done.
 
Finally done. I ended up taking the advice and cutting out the slats with an air pressure saw. So quick!

Fitting was quick too but the grilles do not line up quite correctly but I’ve had to remind myself not everyone will be looking at them as closely as I do

Not quite the silver bullet of sexiness I was hoping for but over the next 10 days before Ace Cafe I’ve got the following to do:

New 666 wheels with dark lacquer addition with blanking centre caps.
Fit z4m bonnet and aero skirts with front nose paint job.
Paint and lacquer calipers and remove rust off brake hubs.
If I can get all that done AND the 300sx I’ve got in I’ll be a happy mon
