My girlfriend reversed into my mini denting the grill and breaking my bumper, now I'm not really sure on what to do now.

I can replace the grill with the same one that's on it but I've straightened the slat out as best as I can and although not brilliant I'm not sure if the damage is worth shelling out 80 bucks so it is perfect.

Could rub down the grill, fill the inperfection then spray the grill glossy black.

Or I could fit a wavy mk1 grill but I can't find any that are internal release so would have the hole at the top and I can't find any good pics to see how well it would look.

I liked the way my mini looked before it got damaged but I did also have a hankering for a wavy grill when purchasing the grill that I have the now so I'm hoping people can post pics of their wavy grills in a decent size and quality as the ones I've found on the web arn't good enough for me to know if that's what I want or not.

For reference this is how my mini looked before damage

Thanks, yeah I'm really happy with how it looks, it's far from perfect and still needs a fair bit doing to it but I'm doing what I can when I can and it's fun as hell being back in a mini.

 

I can't find any pictures of a mini with a full CF grill/mustache but I think that would be CF overload, I like the contrast of the chrome with the carbon.

Here's mine in Progress. Hope this helps you.
