had one for my 2008 R56 and it cut down reception about 20%; now my 2013 could use this baby for cosmetic reasons - SO HOW IS THE DAMN RECEPTION PEOPLE? thank you,

Excellent fit. I bought the matte black to try and match the rest of the trim and it looks factory installed.
Removing the OE chrome grill "nuts" was a bit of a pain, so I elected to just snap the plastic threads off rather than attempt to remove them. I wouldn't plan on keeping the OE grill as the plastic threads and stamped nuts are practically destroyed no matter how gentle you are.
The upper grill snaps in and use the same fasteners as the OE. The new stamped nuts can be a bit annoying, just seat the nut on the ball of your thumb and turn. Once the nut cuts into the plastic use a nut-driver to snug up--don't over tighten.
The lower grill just snaps in. I cleaned and plasti coted the bumper black, as you can see the bumper color behind the new grill--my car is red so it really stood out.
This grill makes the car look so much better and more up to date. I really like it.

Just recieved my order (NM Engeneering 22mm rear sway bar and links). I'm just shocked at how fast the shipping was. I live in Moscow, Russia and it just took a week and two days to have all I ordered laying in my trunk.
Thank you guys, I will recommend your service to all my friends/
Great job!
