Mod journal for my car.

Nothing serious yet, waiting for more choices in aftermarket parts.

First up, M235i grille surround swap and gloss black side gills. I didn't actually swap the entire side piece, I just popped the chrome part out and swapped with the black M Performance piece. Total time was about 40 mins for both grilles and gills. Time includes taking both grilles apart as well as removal and install, plus several cups of coffee.

The hardest part is getting your arms in between the bumper and the cross member, I'm not very big and I could barely get my arms in far enough to reach the tabs.

Were you driving down 14th St SW last week? Saw an LBB M2 drive by and it was the first one I've seen other than mine in Calgary.

Probably. There is a couple of others too. Should be 4 LBB M2s in Calgary right now

My VRSF dp arrived today with my A74 O2 sim. Hopefully I can do this in my garage this afternoon. Gotta find a wiring diagram for the O2 sensor first.

Your LBB is stunning. I picked up my AW at Calgary BMW today. So if you see one running around with shipping plastics on hood and roof, that's me. Will be a few days until 3m is on. Will be following your mods closely.

Nice! Why didn't you swap out the entire side piece thought that was a full replacement from m performance?

The chrome part just pops out. No need to mess with the factory tape
