The grill is the last thing I need to make before my mini is done, The one that came with it was the 20 year old original, so abit tatty I decided to paint it white, but recently ive gone off it, so need new ideas (i dont want a plain chrome one, im just weird that way ) and looking through the photo album, i saw a very nice red mini with a wire mesh grill, loved it.

So, I could do with some more mesh grill pictures, if anyone has a mini with one fitted. Dont think you can buy them, but it shouldnt be hard to make.

Cheers guys

Exactly like that! I think they look great, but mine would have the chrome surround.

Beautiful

Any pictures youve got of these grills will help me make up my mind, so carry on

Yeah, go for it!

What colour do you guys think would look best? Heres some pictures of the rest of the mini for inspiration:





Im thinking white, black or chrome
