I am currently trying to install an I35 grille on my I30, everything is going in nice and tight, just one question, has anyone else that has done this had a bigger gap on the top thnen the original grille???

 

Nope - I have done this and it fits fine.

 

the I30 grille has a rubber surround that makes it look flush mounted. the I35 grille will be inset a lil bit with a small gap barely big enough to squeeze maybe a penny into.

 

ok because i went back , and found out the weather lining was taken off, glued it back on and now there is a small, like you said penny sized hole in between the grille and hood

 

I've never noticed any gap or hole on mine.

 

here are some pics of the I35 grille installed and some are with my friend e34 530

 

Very nice! Are you planning to do any other simple mods like clearing your corners or different shoes?

 

Niiiiiiiiice. Now slap on a drop and some rims.

 

I have to say that grill looks better on a black car than it did on my silver one when I test fitted it to mine.

 

Looks GREAT! That grille would have looked great with my G35 wheels. Too bad, i'll have to search the net for one.

 

getting Eibach with Tociko Illunmas next week, and im thinking about maybe the new g35 coupe rims, idk yet

 

Cool signature ZOMG. Is De Noob your cars name?

 

im also a part of Bimmerforums.com and my name there is De Noob.

The traffic going through there is so great and there is bound to be someone that will make you a sig, so i post a picture of my car and ask for them to make me a sig.

I like it myself

 

You'll love the illuminas.

I thought you were C P Squared on bimmerfourms too i see you in O.T. all the time I'm Silvia on bimmerfourms

edit: wow i just looked at the original post date

 

Sell me your grille Mr.large

 

Nice job dude! where in jersey u from?

Also where did u get the grill u bought it offline or u bought it off someone.

 

I'm from Brick, I bought the grille off of someone on the boards.

 

Looks good.

 

Where is your grill from, Barada?

 

My grill is the stock i30 grill with 2 pieces of mesh over lapping the original.. looks good with the vertical lines behind the mesh.

 

Anyone sellin the i35 grill in chrome by any chance lol

 

Looks unique.

Look online.

 

Thanks.. guess i will have no choice but too lol

 

Thats life.

 

I've wanted to make some kind of a mesh grille for mine, too. Great job! I'm sure it's fairly simple to do, but if you ever have time for a write-up on how you did it and what kind of mesh you used, that would be cool, too...

 

Its plain mesh bought from Home Depot.
cut out, on the borders remember to curve the tips in around the edge of the i30 grill. get some metal strips to clip on the mesh. very simple.

 

I just finished modding another one like wise-1 has on tmec (i made the one he has) you might be interested in it

 

It looks good on your's though because you've got the older grill. I don't know if it will look quite the same on mine with the newer grill. Guess I'll have to try it and find out...

 

this sucks i cant make new threads=[

 

You can after a certain amount of posts - 20-25 if you're lucky. Just interject little things all over the board and you should be good.

 

Yes, that's a German Plate, always have had a soft spot for them.

EDIT: Is a way to get the Headlights off to get the orange out of them?

 

Yes it's realy simple i did mine and think it looks 100X better
