PM me price, doubt i will lower it. Its pretty low in front and scraped the driveway. But, keen to know how much you want.

Thanks to Divio for pointing out the thread and also securing the deal with the seller. I picked up a set of oem jcw front honeycomb grill.





Looks like so


Will clean them up and maybe paint them a little then fit soon.

Had no plans for Saturday so i decided to pamper the Mini a little, first time since we got it and it was well deserved.

Started off with removing the numberplate brackets and front numberplate backing trim. Was never a fan of the brackets, prefer to velcro the plate onto the bumper or boot lid.

While i was at it, i changed the front grills to the JCW ones i got. Unfortunately, the bottom grill did not fit, will have to get my panel shop to make holes as the clips on the grill dont line up with the bumper. Not a train smash...

Gave the car a good wash and wax thereafter. Still need t send it in for a detail but for now, the Adams Butter wax did the trick.

Sorry for the crappy pics:

Grill's removed:








After wash and wax:








TIA

That looks good - nice improvement to the front.

Bottom grille won't fit as it's meant for the Jcw bumper however there's plenty of Diy instructions for this.

Here's one

Grill is looking Good. :rollsmile:

Grill is looking really good. Why not just black out the chrome on the bottom bit?

 

[Jarv]

Really nice! I also removed those number plate brackets.

Looks awesome, those grills make a huge difference to the appearance. Nice and aggressive now :inlove:

Wanted to De-chrome the car, im not a fan of chrome. But, looked at the car and there is a lot of chrome. Not going to the extent of stripping the chrome beading and door handles, or the headlight surrounds. So, just the grills...
