Question about installing a new grill...

I'm curious to know if I can retain the MINI driving lights and install a new grill? I'm looking for one of the black honeycomb-like grills, just not certain I can retain the lights. For what its worth, I have a 06 GP.

Thanks,
Andy

Hey Andy. If you have factory lights they are riveted on which means a rather complicated uninstall and reinstall of the light assembly. My first r53 had these and I ended up returning the aero style grill as a result.
