What is the difference any1, are they both original, the 1st is fully open and the 2nd are partially closed??

Are the pre and post face lift kidneys the same?

Thanks

The top one is off an M3 sport Evo. Lets more air in!, thinner vains or something

bottom is any E30 below this which is all of them!

So both are genuine
