All I keep thinking is I want to zip up Imran's shoulder zippers... but no zipper pull!!!

BTW would be helpful to include the stock large grilles in the big grid of options so we can compare it to the stock grills.

FWIW I like 11 best as it is the largest grille. All the other grills look tiny now after being used to the large G8x grilles.

Evaero G8x Bumper Concepts by Evolve Automotive, on Flickr

This is the design direction. Will share more when we have completed the 3D renders early next year.

I would have kept the grille and done something like this sketch I did. Yes it's similar to 4 series but just making the side vents larger and more aggressive.

I think when we make the grille smaller and put a "mouth" under it like the F8x the proportions just aren't right.

The idea will be tool the main bumper in OEM style plastic to keep costs down. The investment for the tooling will be huge though. We are exploring options at the moment.

The radar and PDC sensors can't be moved. Design has to take into account these things as well as number plate placement. You can't just do what you like

Regardless of the negativity on this forum, I cant fathom the demand being high enough to make the return on the R&D, tooling, production, and profit substantial enough that an aftermarket facia and grille could be attractively priced for mass marketing. You guys know better than ai do though so best wishes with it.

No, thanks. I will take the G80 because of the S58 engine, the nice bucket seats, and the absolutely fair pricing.

Tooling is indeed a large amount for a OEM like plastic bumper. We will evaluate the cost and demand from our distributors before going ahead with production but initial demand seems good.
