cheap i can do. Must be a way to get that to give access... chin rub.
grill buttons would work but will it still have that flat flush look if its just being held on......mmm??
any more pics out there?

Can't you just weld a few small bolts/threaded bar to the back of it and have it bolted from the inside? that would give the appearance of having no fixings with the bonus of being removable

I think it looks pretty cool, must restrict access a lot though

I love the commercial front.

I hated it when I bought the pick up, but now its grown on me when I replace the front pannel it will be with another commercial front (unfortuantly you have to get a non heritage one if you want it all one piece, as Heritage dont do genuine commercial fronts.)

The commercial front on a saloon looks awesome, on the right car.

I think the van grill looks really smart. Esp for a track day car.

It deppends what type of image your trying to go for, if its originality its a no. I think it almost gives it a retro feel.

Really like One carb or two's grill. Fits nice on that mini

I really dont like the way that the seperate after market commercial grilles look. The look "ok" but just not as clean and smooth as it being one complete panel

For me, it HAS to be a one piece front! Plan is for the pick up is to make the front removalble, so I can still get to the front of the engine (seeing as the grille wont be removable)

Super old bump, but been looking at putting a van grill on my car and came across this, the white and red mini is for sale!
If it's in as good of a condition as it looks it could be a bargain! https://www.gumtree....-mot/1144911841

Very early 1958 prototype Mini long before the van was even launched....
