Anyone thought of this ?

Imagine this just the top part with some shallow grills that will give the look of the LCI without switching the hood. I personally think it might look quite good even. Check the photoshopped cars.

looks good. now we need someone with a 3d printer.

Wouldn't be seamless, there would still need to be a bit at the end where all of the "spokes" terminate. The hood comes down all the way behind that piece, so there could be no depth to the spokes either. LCI hood and M3 rep bumper is your best option IMO.

On the contrary you can get about 1 cm depth true it won't be completely perfect but it is a way. My 3D printer should arrive by late december and I will give it a shot. For it defo looks like a viable option until you find a hood. For example here in Bulgaria it is really hard to find a LCI hood in good condition - I have already done the LCI headlight swap FRM3 and full LCI rear but the damn hood has been a PITA, over 4 months with no luck - don't really trust couriers from EBAY to ship properly to here either.
