Anyone have a pic of the back end of an M5? In the verlinden kit there are 2 grill boxes. One goes below the access doors on the back, with the tow hook attached. The other is shown as going above it. That dosen't look right to me.

Can anyone help?

Those are some great pics Keenan!

Chuck, when I get home from work today, I'll see if I can brighten up the #2 pic, so you can see the rear detail a little better.

Still more pics at this site. I think these will probably help more than the first set.

This is about the best I could brighten it up Chuck.



In conclusion, I'd have to say the grill boxes are pretty close to being correct, with the upper box seeming to not have the screen attached...optional...your call.

Thanks Ken. I can make out the upper grill box and think I have the positioning figured out.
