Xoutpost.com - What did you do to / for your E53 today??

So need to do this too - looking at alloy mesh to replace the plastic mesh though - better bird protection! :-)

*update* just looked at your pic on my computer rather than my phone and I see you HAVE used alloy mesh and not OEM grills - looks good! :thumbup:

It's stucco backing. 😎

Won't the factory plastic get brittle and break over time?

Plastic doesn't rust...

Offshore steel that's galvanized.....I've seen plenty of stucco exteriors with rust bleed through

Removing the bumper (easy enough)
Remove the old plastic (mine shattered upon the slightest contact)
Cut and zip tie mesh.
Receive 1000 cuts in the process.
