I just did a quick photoshop on my 2004 MCS.

I deleted the lower grill and added stripes.
What do you guys think? Should I do this? I like the look
Please let me know what you guys think.

 

Try it without the stripes! I like it! Thanks for some other ideas!

 

i think it would only look good without the lower grill if the very bottom grill was way bigger..
that would look pretty cool..

 

There is a body kit that gets rid of that grille somewhere on NAM.

FYI, that is the 'middle', not the 'lower' grille.

 

I don't like the look (too much bumper)....but hey, it's a MINI, you can do whatever you want!!!

 

i like the look of the middle grill to be honest. I think it ties in the upper and the lower grill more.

I would maybe just do the stripes?

 

It might turn out ok, but I think it would look a lot like a VW in the front.

 

I filled in the lower grill & a whole lot more when I bought my car so I love the idea

 

I think it looks better on the Aero Kit cause of the design

 

For those of you that had this done on their cars, what did you use to fill the grill? Did you do it yourself using spot putty or did you take it to a bodyshop? My bumper needs a new paint anyway because I have a lot of small chips..

 

I actually like the lower grill, this doesn't look bad either. Each to his own.
