If you mount vertically your coverage is not as effective as horizontally.

Here is a pic of my mounting....
The vertical panes of the grille are black anyway, so the standard grille hides the sensors equally well.

Doesn't look like that grill is going to work...too recessed. Would have to go where Bokke has his mounted, or in the outside air intake.

Agreed. That is also very similar to mine.

Personally I would try it by using 3m double sided tape on the veins even if recessed and then test with a gun like Stealth's to see how it does, then have installer tighten up

LI quad BMW edition. I am not using HP. If you mount front vertically then you don't need HP.
