G05 Dual Slat Front Grill - Pics Please

Looking to see if anyone has installed a dual slat grill on the G05 with active shutters in place and can share pics. My M50i is Carbon Black and I would like to change out my Cerium Grey grill for a carbon fiber grill, but curious as to how the spacing will look on the dual slat with the cerium grey active shutters. The active shutter appear to move backward towards the radiator on a side pivot point so I don't think the dual slat version will impact their movement. I've considered, but undecided if I want to remove the active shutters; I think they are a useless feature that eventually will be prone to break and be an expensive repair. I always liked the look of the dual-slat on my F85, so would like to repeat it on my G05 if possible.

If I find more, I'll forward along. The car is covered in salt right now so you wouldn't see much! Haha.
