I found this on ali baba. I think it might be the grille for upcoming cs but im not sure…..i actually think it looks pretty good. Its $1500.

This is the upcoming M4 CSL grille.

A lot of mixed feelings about it for some reason - I think it looks pretty decent. The Vorsteiner grille is cleaner vs. this design, but to each his/her own.

After seeing more and more of these, I'm starting to like them more. I think it's a bit more aggressive so it could suit certain cars a bit more. Time will tell I suppose.

There are already Chinese manufacturers pushing it on Facebook.

Yea ur right. It would only look acceptable untill the real cs comes out. Then u level down.

But then i think of how it will look at 100ft away and im like wait…

Eh.

I don't really care how the public perceives me and my car. If someone ever came up to me with this grille installed on my car and said "you're a poseur for putting a CSL grille on your normal M3", I'd say "ok, cool." Life's too short to give a flying rats ass what people think tbh. You pay for your car, so you should do whatever you want to it. If you like it and dig it, you should rock it.

Trim levels are whatever to me too - CS, CSL, GTS, Competition, etc. I don't call anyone putting black badges on their 6MT a poseur, so I wouldn't do the same if someone put the CSL grille on their car either.

The more I look at this, the more I like it. I'm really starting to dig how aggressive it is and how it'll complement how aggressive my yellow car is. It might be a blessing in disguise that my Vorsteiner grille order never went through

Hey hey hey…..6 mt w/ black badges….thats me….jp

I remeber filling in the shelby fonts with bondo on my gt350 lip ……that i put onto my gt 😅

I used to be the person who cared about what others thought but then stopped shortly after getting the booster.

Carbon additions are nice but sometimes I think it's overdone, this for me is a nice grill but in abs maybe.
IMO to busy in carbon.

[mydxb]

I think it will look great in carbon fiber

All the CF vendors here must source from the same factory because not one so far actually redesigned the grill to fit a non-CSL badge and it's disappointing... the only vendor right now selling a proper csl grill is Autotechnic as their ABS version at least removes the badge holder entirely.

I noticed the exact same thing. AT's ABS version without the badge indentation.

Yup... and I got confirmation from R44 that the badge holder on the CF CSL style grill is too long for the normal badge. He said a normal M3/4 badge fits but there's extra space at the end since the holder is meant for the M4 CSL badge.

Exactly my thoughts. Cannot fit the stock M3/M4 badge...
For the CSL style grill, AT's ABS one seems like the way to go.

[R44 Performance]

Have a look at these options we have coming through.

They are also from overseas like the others.

Exactly... maybe some parts like the twin fin front intakes or the front lip are proprietary designs but all these grills coming out are just sourced from the same few suppliers in Asia. I dabbled in dropshipping in the past so it's very easy to tell.
