Interior/Exterior Front Grill Mods
No one responded to my other post in this forum section, but maybe I'll get luckier on this topic... 
Not sure what others think, but not really enamored with the front grille on the F56 Cooper S 2 Hatchback. Too much going on visually for my tastes....
Searched online, but don't really see much, if any, grille mods available for the F56. Is that because they are too new, too few sold, or everyone likes the way it looks?
Only mod I've seen so far on F56 is changing color of the horizontal bar above the wide horizontal bar...
I've seen pics of a few prior gen MINI's that have had grille mods. Some look good to me, such as a simple 'diamond metal mesh'.
Is the mesh available for the F56?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks for any input....

RaceMesh can do a mesh grill for you but the install seems to require at least a little bit of modification to fit. There are a few companies that do bodykits that modify the front bumper and grill but most leave the grill OEM. Duell Ag however, does have a modified grill that I think looks fantastic but it's about $3k,

not all that much more work then it was to fit the GEN1 Aero Grill to a regular .... I did several of these for folks and made grill inserts for the valence 'fake inlets' on S

Will check it out.....
$3K for the Duell grille is more than I can spend, but will take a look for fun....

Thanks for all the info!
Will check it out....like the $10 part....
That RaceMesh style is pretty cool I think,
kinda gotta Frogeye Sprite vibe...

...looks stone cold classic in my eyes.
Also,
it's pretty neat how Duell went with the slats,
I think it looks good.
