Diamond Grilles... Who wants them!?

Came across these on the popular auction site.

Not a fan of these on the G20 M340i and certainly not a fan of them for the F30! It says Mercedes AMG styling to me.

Some might like them though

Great principle, believing that foreign people can’t do anything properly just because they don’t speak fluent English!

Do they do non oem M badges that you can stick on them?

I am curious as to how the clownage brigade will cope with hexagons when they want to paint their grills with the m colours ? :

bit racist, thinking that foreign people don't have the ability to make an effort to spell words properly? and also bringing nationality into the equation, which i didn't do.

also, creating a straw man argument to make an off-hand remark - because apparently, a request for someone to spell the word 'sedan' properly in an ebay title, is the same as expecting a foreign person to speak fluent english.

My point is the chinese can do lots of things very well, even if they can’t write english very well.

Could you please use capital letters in the appropriate place? Makes you look untrustworthy when you don't, I wouldn't sell you anything.

Is it wrong that I quite like them as they are the shape the G30 SHOULD have been?
