Hi everyone.

Hey Everyone,
Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been looking at buying a mini in the near future and found this site. Great source of information. So far I've been looking at 03-05 MC-S's. I already have a list of mods planned, but wanted to ask about a grill replacement. I don't like the factory chrome grill's and wanted to replace them with something like these:


I believe this is an 05+ with the projector housing headlights. Are these grills available for pre-05 year cars? I've found a few aftermarket companies but none that offered grills.

Thanks for the input.

-James

I'd stick with 05/06 -- more fun than earlier years and they got rid of a few bugs. BTW, 05 & 06 are pretty much equivalent.

seeing that is the Mach V mini, you could always PM dan and ask him about the parts on the car. he is very friendly and a member of these forums.

That's later than an '05... I'd say it's an '07. Fuel cap shape is different, headlights are different and the side vents ahead of the side view mirrors are different from my '05.

Thanks. I'm only looking at the front bumper and mesh grills, but that's good info to know.
I found a company online that sells the grills, so I'll know where to order when I pick one up.
