I just finished puting these on my car. It wasn't too hard, considering i didn't have any instrustions... I only needed to call Peter once to make sure I wasn't hurting anything.

Pics:




I painted the framework behind the upper grill, and i painted the crash bar behind the lower grill to give it a nice look behind the grills...

 

nice...isn't this the same grill as the one in the fold-out m7 ad in mc2? that ad is sweet.

 

Now you just need the lower one.

Looks great, I can't wait until I get mine!

Once I get the aero bumper...

Ya, I think it is.

 

Very nice. I can't wait to get some for my own MINI.

 

Here is a look at all three with the Aero kit, taken during construction just before being shipped to Monterey.

That looks incredible. I can;t wait till I get my aero kit.

 

I think i like the Aero grilles better, but that bottom M7 grille looks REAL nice! Either way car still looks great

 

Like the OEM aero grill, did you have dremel the bumper to get it installed?

 

You know i dont like the M7 grills cause of the lack of grill surround, like the trim on the stock and aero kit grill, BUT i really like the look on your car! Especially cause mine is Hyper Blue too. That picture makes me actually like the M7 grill

 

For me, expanded metal looks CHEAP. It IS cheap. I vastly prefer the kind of polished stainless steel (electropolished, actually) diagonal mesh seen on Jagual S types. I am making my own now, and I'll post a pic in a couple of months when I am done. It will have the later smooth chrome surround seen on stock grilles. I will make an upper and lower grille, and maybe a mid and scoop grille too. I understand Peter of M7 is having Grillecraft develop a stainless mesh grille. It will be expensive I'm sure, but MUCH less cheesy looking, IMO. See, you can grate cheese nicely on expanded mesh... HA!
