grill

I wonder if the lower grill is already modified/molded so that it fits the stock MCS front bumper?

That would be worth buying just for that.

yeah, that would be nice! that's one of the main reasons why i've stay away from getting a mesh grille. i'd like the option of going back to the slats if i wanted to.

The grills come in chrome, black, and carbon-look from Euro Car Parts in the UK. Apparently they have matching scoops, too. Saw them in GoMINI.

It takes all of about 3 minutes to modify the Mini lower grill to fit and a matt knife, what could be easier.

IT'S A STICK ON! It goes over your current grille. Don't ask me how.

Yea, if its just a stick on then forget it. I don't see how that would even work without sticking out too far or being able to see the original grill behind it.
