Shadow Line Gloss Black front grill with Carbon Fiber inserts

So I had been waiting for a while for BMW to release the shadow line gloss black M340 style front grill, but I figured I would do something different instead. I didn't want to just go with the slate gloss black grille alone so I also installed the Carbon Fiber style inserts to give it that extra aggressive look. Let me know what you think.

Looks good! Better than the carbon surround with gloss black bars I've seen although I'm a bit disappointed they are not actual carbon fibre.
How easy are they to fit and how do you do it?
