End of the day it's completely up to you. I think it looks better without too, but I'd hate a comprehensive claim on a shot radiator.
That makes sense. I’m going to go without and hope I don’t have issues lol. I did read the g87 and the manual g80 have a different set up as far as the radiator. I am far from a BMW tech but it could explain why the cs and csl have the open grills and no mesh from factory. They have the same radiator set up as the competition models.

IND mesh didn't come close to fitting correctly 😕 Have to do a return, but disappointed because I had the bumper off for the grill and it's now done with no mesh.

Oh yeah I see that. Sorry man. I over cut on mine to avoid this, but I still came dangerously close on one corner.

Wow that's pretty bad for an ind product, i know they'll fix it but still, that shouldn't get out the door at all.
