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.

I installed the Cravenspeed "Big Pair"today. Huge difference, just what the F56 chassis needed. Well made and very easy to install.

Greetings,
I'd like to express my appreciation with the fine treatment and excellent client handling I received from Aaron on the telephone, September 22, 2020.
I was in a jam for a much needed tool from you facility, and Arron had a professionalism that calmed me. He located the correct tool, expedited the order, and had it set to leave your facility within thirty minutes.
I couldn't have been happier with Aaron taking care of my order. What had begun as a stressful call for me turned out to have a very pleasant closure.
Thank you for staff that are competent and kind. I think Aaron is a wonderful asset to the Outmotoring team.
