Lower grille question

I don't know why but it bothers me that the bottom grille has this bar in it, and that it's not fully mesh. However, I cant seem to find any to fit a pre lci sedan e90 model? Can anybody help, here is what I am referring to.

You are missing the trim piece that clips on to that center rail.

Does anyone make a full mesh grille? My lower grille trim pieces are cracked and don't look all that good anymore. Full mesh would indeed look quite good imo.

You should try making your own. I bought this on Amazon and it was easy to cut and shape.

I would not know. The mtech is only pre lci I got. I have lci that coincidentally is missing this grill. I will compare, take some photos and send them too you. I have no use for this grill. If fits you can have it. Just cover shipping.

mtech isn’t going to work. Too small. Luckily I have e92 grill that is big enough. Take a look.

No. You will have to buy a sheet of mesh with the size holes you want and cut it to shape.
Or get the e92 grill posted above and figure out a way how to hold it in place.
