I searched this entire section and couldnt find a mcs with its outer grille (chrome part) painted a matching colour to the car. Did nobody ever do this mod before?

Guy in Houston Club has his Clubman with red grills if I am not mistaken. Ron is his name. I could be wrong. His picture on HMMS.org doesnt have it but I just got back from a drive and I really think the whole thing is red.

I have a R53 JCW grill set waiting for me when I get home, and the plan is to paint the surround pices Flat DS to match the body and either paint the inner mesh bright silver to match the mirrors, or gloss black to match the roof. I think either way will look sweet and take away some of the "Cuteness"

How and Where did you get a GP front bumper cover?

I have been looking for one for years with no luck, short of buying a GP
