Since the initial posting, after a lot of deliberation on whether the black grille would cheapen the look of the car or not (being frozen black), I eventually decided to purchase an OEM M performance black kidney grille for £290.00 this week
I just got an estimated cost to install all of them at a local BMW Autobody shop = £330.00. I would make a booking next week. I thought it was a bit too expensive, I thought I could fix the kidney grille myself based on youtube videos and posting from Bimmerpost but decided against it
The front spoiler from BMW item no is 51128054346
When fitted I would post pictures

I think the black grill adds to the appearance of your car hugely in a very positive way, it really is the dark destroyer now.
I can't make my mind up about the boot spoiler, I have the BMW carbon fibre rear diffuser already fitted and the car has such a nice rear end profile already I'm 50/50 on that.
You car looks great but I prefer my shiny paint
Has anyone with chrome exhaust tips found an easy way to clean them/ keep them clean???

I've always wanted an M6 but am slightly wary of not having garage etc.
eg I live in end terrace, with the parking spaces all pointing away from the houses right outside the house (eg not along a road, its an estate with a row of parking spaces outside the terrace).
I don't recall hearing M6s being stolen to order etc, but do you all have trackers etc? Is the paint fairly robust?

I wouldn't let any of these things put you off. It's a top-end BMW so the paint should be as robust as they come. (You could maybe go for a ceramic coating if you were concerned).eg I live in end terrace, with the parking spaces all pointing away from the houses right outside the house (eg not along a road, its an estate with a row of parking spaces outside the terrace).

Thank you. Unike you, I was sure I wanted the rear spoiler but unsure of the black grille. It is good to hear that other enthusiasts think it enhances the appearance of the car. I was still having a second thought after installing the grilles I can't make my mind up about the boot spoiler, I have the BMW carbon fibre rear diffuser already fitted and the car has such a nice rear end profile already I'm 50/50 on that.
