I found the lousy digi p&s !
It was inside my glasses case, of course !
Well, the pics, sorry for the lousy quality... In fact it doesn't look too different than on that example M4. The last pics shows the cotton swab stick I used to fill the 1 mm gap after making it flat.

Taffer, the vertical finger-grip portion of your grip assembly appears to be polished aluminum, while that part of the black one illustrated on the web site was made of dark carbon fiber... Did you specify a choice?

Yes Doug, in fact the ones on the website are still the old model. You can have a look at their current ones on the links below, probably the will be updating the website soon.

Thanks! The new all-metal model looks stronger but heavier. Is the back side of the vertical part hollowed? I was thinking a bit of milling on the mating surfaces of the base part wouldn't hurt, as there looks to be a lot of metal there.

Yep Doug, at first I also thought the vertical part (the grip itself) was a massive piece of aluminium but it is not, just like their previous ones is empty on the inside, though it's indeed a bit heavier than the old NF grip I also ordered. Nonetheless, the all metal one feels more solid, you have the impression that the grip is one with the camera.
Well, I am getting a grip for the M6. That sucker is heavy, and too smoothly contoured. Nothing to grip. I did finish my first roll, I think a grip will help me feel more confident with it though.
There's also Leica's own M handgrip to consider, not much more expensive than the above... http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=productlist&A=details&Q=&sku=127360&is=REG
