5 slat kidney grille reproduction in stainless

[nosmonkey]

Apologies for lack of updates on these guys, plenty of things going on lately and unfortunately the coupe has had to take a back seat. Having tried the grille on another front panel, there are definitely some small tweaks to do namely some slight narrowing and realignment of the grille holes. Perhaps an idea to send my spare front panel back with the grille so that they can be test fitted with that

Thanks

I‘m also interested in one or two with the polished slat shipped to Spain.

Having had a bit of a back and forth with the supplier I'm not entirely sure if the quality is at the level where I'd be happy to supply on these. The main thing being the mounting studs being accurate and general straightness/appearance.

Still trying to find some solutions with it although it's taken a bit of a back burner.

Take your time! Still interested!

Great challenge and a lot of clarification with the potential supplier - thanks @nosmonkey for you efforts!

Maybe sending them a bolt pattern in a form of wooden form with the holes inside the milled grille shape would help, but as it was mentioned before each E9 might have different opening for the grille with different mounting tabs. Original aluminum grille was "self-adopting" during assembly. It could also be easily bend to fit the holes on the coupe.

I have a spare front panel that I have procured with the plan to send to them, the studs were so far off on the test one that they needed to be cut and rewelded
