Zunsport front bumper grills - protect your radiators!
Howdy yall!
The only 'problem' my 19 M2C has ever had is that it took a rock punched a hole in a radiator which had to be replaced. Obviously if this happens out on the road, or worse on a trip, this could create a huge issue and a terrible day. Track days are even more hazardous environments, and I have seen folks line their front bumper vents with hardware store chicken wire and other options to cut down on rock and debris damage. I started looking around and I found Zunsport in the UK, who comes highly reviewed and recommended and makes very high quality grills! The installation is really easy AND after I spoke with them, they offered a 15% discount I can share on any purchases. Code: BM191521 They look good, come for MANY different makes and models and I have no doubt will help avoid further damage in the future. Check it out!

I just don't like the look, I dunno it kind cheapens the car to me a little bit. I know I know, function before form.
Also love your videos on YT! |

The other idea is even use them for track or club days then take them back OFF if you dont like the look long term. Would be a pretty great way to make sure you dont thrash your radiators if you get out. 8)

Just received mine today . Haven't installed them yet .
As I am also installing the turner skid plate and adding mesh to that I gotta wait for the jb weld to dry . I like how the side screens fasten , I am curious to see how the main piece stays on after a while . With no fastners I can see it loosening up over time . |

Would have been nice if the center screen came with some fasteners in addition to or instead of clips Last edited by 2020M2Competition; 05-28-2021 at 07:59 PM.. |

I like the look. It reminds me of what's on the GT2RS.
Does it rattle or make noise? Do they make pieces to cover or replace the top grill? |

no rattle or noise, they secure very well. You want grills for the kidneys?

Doing this now , the sides are a breeze the Center i wish they used the same mounts as the side ones . Looks good though.
The Center once on is permanent unless you take the under tray off. |

Unfortunately looks like the black set is currently sold out/unavailable for the M2C - anyone have insight into the typical timeline for Zunsport to get both finishes back in stock??
