      There is some info about euro vs us in the FAQ section (but they'll both fit)

        yeah, look out for those shady "M3 Euro Grille" auctions for $200. the evo ones are supposed to have different vents than the rest, but those would be a pretty rare case unless you buy it from the dealer.

          There answer is no, to your topic question. The question that you posted in your thread, is yes. EVO have different designs. I believe some 'euro' early 318s have different design as well. One of Korman's workers/customer who posted those old Firehawk (IMSA E30 M3 that Korman campaigned) was using early 318 grilles and not EVO.

            If you need the extra open spots, couldn't you just cut them yourself?? :?

            Cause...$200 for grills is insane.. :shock:

              It's not that there are extra open spots, it's that the air is flowed differently as I understand it.

                Indeed

                I have an evo kidney on my car is the slats are slightly differnt its sits a little father out than a standard grile and there are sealing strips top and bottmom to force the air through the center instead of letting it push around
