///M grille?

I know it may sound silly, but I really like those ///M grilles with stripes that come stock on some M cars. I'd like to get one for my M235 - are they available?

1st.... no striped grills come stock on "M" cars that I know of......They have a "M" attached to it.
2nd....there is a grill that is gloss black & dual slat out there sold by JB speed that looks similar to the "M" style grills that come on the M3/M4. I have them on my 235

Can buy the 3 color vinyl tape online and apply it to 3 of your grill slats.......looks decent enough.

Stripes do not come with M car grills. Those are added by their owners. Just go on eBay and get the vinyl M stripe grill decals.

Hahah, I thought those grilles with stripes were stock. I don't know about doing it with vinyl tape, I think it may look bad.

The decal/stripes cost about $6 on ebay. If you don't like, take 'em off!

To each their own, but I hate the look. There is too much M on this non-M car as it stands.

Yeah... I don't even like it on M cars, too tacky for my taste.
