Couldn't make my mind up what looked best from the first two pics, but from the latest ones the new grill looks better, you prefer it to your b7 ?

Black grill looks better on the black car.

Dd o fit spacers in the end?

Looks like you have put some small ones on all way round.

Am about to get rid of my m5 and buy one I think...will probably be putting some 12mm's in the rear and leaving the front...
