My 1st Mod

Picked up the plates from the dlr last night, and also picked up a black grill. Love the looks of the Mini, but thought the chrome grill was a little to much - so I swapped it out for a black grill.

Before....




After



I think the black looks way much better. Probably adds at least 5 HP

Looks good! I want to swap over to the black grill at some point as well. I like the stock look but it is a bit too much crome.

Welcome to the Maddness!

The new Grill looks great!

For some reason, when the Bonnet has no stripes [racing for bonnet style] the black "S" style grill looks better!

Only thing - get that plate on the back; the front will look much cleaner

Nice Mod!
