The tabs that clip over the edge of the OEM surround for the center grille fit very snug. They are sharp and designed to flex when you push the grille into the right position (I used a thin screwdriver to lift the bottom center tab a touch to avoid it scratching but its not simple). There is definitely chance of a small scratch. However - even if it does scratch it will be almost impossible to notice unless you are down there with a flashlight and running your finger along the inside edge of the OEM surround. The benefit of protecting the radiators far outweigh a tiny scratch IMO. The side grilles attach with anchor clamps - no potential to scratch.

I know I didn't order the OG grills because I ordered a set of OG grills for my OG M2 and at the same time another M2 Comp set that I thought would fit my CS. The two kits were different.

The top was blocked by the OEM grille's bezel, and without possibly damaging/deforming the bezel by forcing, I could not get it any closer to registering with the plane of the OEM grille than pictured here. In other words, it was too tall. The Zunsport unit's quality was excellent and they took my return with zero hassles. I'll look forward to trying again after they've had a look at the CS' dimensions in-house.
Don't know - This is how mine fit as well on my CS... Too large

Fitted these today on my CS, very happy with the fit and finish.

I initially thought the side grills weren't going to fit as they seemed too large as some had mentioned in this thread, but quickly realised that I had the L + R sides mixed up. Easy install after that.

I have 100% confirmation from Zunsport that the CS doesn't require different screens. They had a local CS in to confirm, and the C/CS screens are the same.

So that is the great news, no redesign needed for the CS.

I was the CS they tested on and I can confirm that the screens fit.

I wanted to order but see they are out of the black option on the website. Anyone notice this? Have any insight? …haven't reached out to the manufacturer yet. Thanks

They only had them back in stock for a week/10 days tops and then out of stock again.I was lucky enough to get my order in before they ran out.

Drop them an email and they will give you an estimate when they are next back in stock and then it's a matter of keeping an eye out close to that date.

They frequently sell out and are unavailable for a couple of weeks at a time until stock is replenished. They are very responsive so shoot them an email. I wanted a set sans logo on the centre grille - delivered within about 5 days from the UK which was impressive.

Use my loyalty card to get a 15% discount when you order. I posted this previously on another thread and others have used it already.

Just received my set today and will install this weekend. For anyone who wants 15% off their order you can use my Member code: 1006 44998

The Zunsport badge was not attached to the grille and is in a separate bag - I did not request this when ordering, but glad it came this way.

Second time is the charm. Received my order lightning fast and installed in just a few minutes. No issues with fit whatsoever. I think these look pretty good!

Incase anyone was wondering about the real-world protection offered by Zunsport - they are strong enough to stop running into murder hornets at some speed:

Can anyone share some insight if I can install these and remove the hexagon grill mesh? Or does this have to be installed with the hexagon grill mesh still on?

The outer Zunsport grills use toggle bolts to anchor to the hexagon plastic stock pieces so those could not be removed. The center piece clips into the bumper so not sure if you could remove the hexagon piece

Just got a chance to install these today. The gap on the right side of the middle grill is pretty annoying, I'm wondering why they didn't use toggle bolts for the middle too. This would've fixed any gaps as it'll force the grill to sit tightly against the old grill.
