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 am really pleased to have them on.. I have seen some screen options that look a little rough, while these look great. I am also SUPER happy to think possible radiator damage is significantly reduced.

Combine that with my Mishimoto oil cooler AND Tuner skid plate coming this week, will be setup for max protection and radiator upgrades!

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!

Thanks man.. sure, there is a aesthetic to it as well, that may or may not work for folks. I actually like it, but that is just me. 8)

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)

not a bad idea and probably worth the time to install and uninstall. I also think they look the best on black cars, kind of just blend in.

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 .

Agreed

Would have been nice if the center screen came with some fasteners in addition to or instead of clips

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.

Well done! I changed out my oil cooler yesterday and got an AMAZING amount of debris. Considering the car isn't that old, the level of stuff and rocks trapped on top was mind blowing.

Really looking to these screens to cut down on that.

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??
