I've not seen them for sale anywhere, but there was a rather funky looking grille on a bright yellow Mini convertible, cover car of MiniWorld mag back in September 1995 I think, I haven't got my really old mags to hand so can't check. Basically instead of having chrome horizontal strips it was like a series of rectangular holes... bit hard to describe I'm afraid! A bit like a waffle.

If anyone's got a September 95 MiniWorld lying around, is there any chance we could have a piccy please?

I haven't got any pictures of it on mine.. but i found this picture. is it the one you meant? not a very good picture i'm afraid...

yeah the RGM one is mean, i love that grille! how about some boyracer-type mesh, could look cool with a design on it.

that looks really good but do you think it could actually be done because of the different angles of the grille when painted?

[Retro_10s]

of course!!! you just need to mask it off well that's all! easy peasy.

[minimayfair633]

thanks im going to try it i'll paint the grille dark grey first if it turns out the way ur pic looks it'l be awsome!
