I know that a company made bentley style mesh grilles for the earlier cars....you might want to email them and see if they are doing one for the R56. It's the same 'woven' mesh patter than the bentleys come with

Put an electic pulse thru that great looking lower grill and you have a bug zapper.

The openings are small enough to catch PLENTY of bugs if you're not in an urban setting.

You guys posting metal vs black out grills are confusing me. Which direction will I go!

I think the Clubman S with a chromed front grille would look fantastic.
