2023 Grille

Has anyone confirmed if the 2023 grille has a different size compared to the older models? Thinking about swapping out the metallic grille for a black one to match with the rest of the M appearance, but only the old grille is available from online vendors. All pictures I can find only seem to be almost identical, but I've also read the current grille is bigger.

After trying to install a 2022 grille on my 2023 model, I can confirm that the dimensions are the same, but the design of camera housing is different. So old model grilles (or at least the one I got) do not fit.

Any idea when we’ll see a 2023 grille for self install? I can add the M-Sport Professional Package ($1,300) but prefer a self-install option just for the front grille.

I believe in another thread IND distribution said they would have one "soon" for 2023+ models. Same boat, got M sport but no m sport pro as I wasnt interested in anything but the black grille. Hope to get some news on the 2023 grille soon.

Hmm, I've already ordered. I have another few days to revise and add in M Sport Professional. I wonder if they will have it ready by November / December.

I have no idea but just wanted to say, thank you for spelling grille correctly when referring to the front of the car. Way to go!

Did anyone ever end up finding a place to order the black grille for the 23s?

I can report that I tried the 2022 model grille and it did NOT fit. The overall dimensions are identical, but the camera hole has a different design...

There haven't been many black grilles for sale but recently a few comes up on ebay asking for $500+. I'll probably wait for cheaper one

Bringing this thread back, has anyone found a good replacement? Been calling around for paint work and got numbers but want to see if it might be cheaper to just replace it.
