M Sport Grill Swap

carbon916 · 12-16-2015, 08:37 AM

Does anyone know if it's a 1 for 1 to swap a standard grill to an M mesh style? I know the camera locations are different which I don't car about but was more interested if it is a DIY swap for the center middle and lower and right and left sides ....

No! You can not swap the trim elements between STD/XLine and M Sport. The front panel is completely different between the models.
To be able to get the M mesh trim elements you basically have to swap everything in the front below the hood to the M trim panel (image).
You can, however, swap trim elements between STD and XLine. If it is a DIY job? For some it is for others it's not. For me, not!
