Davidbf1.com Posted June 8, 2017 Report Share Posted June 8, 2017 Curious. Fitted my Zunsport Black SS grilles a few weeks ago to BGTS. Happy with the install. cCr has been tucked up in the garage for a couple of weeks until this week when my Mrs needed to use it for a few days due to a minor issue on her car. Only 2-3 miles each way use. Local pottering about. I pulled up tonight to see my BGTS reversed onto the drive as normal, something didn't quite look right at the front but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I realised, the centre [Zunsport] grille is missing! nothing has been hit, no parking bump, no flying stones and no speed humps taken at speed. I know the grill was in good and secure, I'd levered the metal hooks/tabs well outwards again, hooking behind the plastic. Bit mystified that it's gone, wondering if it has actually been nicked. No signs of forced removal/damage, no scratches to the soft black plastic on the bumper nor the painted sections. Struggling though to believe it's just fallen out on its own. david Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC, Zunsport has been pretty decent about replacing grilles lost soon after purchase. Worth giving them a call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are three here, one in the centre of each section, wrapped around the spar that supports the vanes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
