I use to see it on ebay, a leather winter grill for classic mini clubmans, but I don't see it anymore. Does anyone have a diagram or pictures of it? En example maybe so I cold get one made? Thanks!

Here's one for a Minor, a Clubman one would be similar but obviously rectangular.

And Mini Sport do one for the round nose to give you an idea.

I used to use Baco foil on a Vauxhall Viva that never warmed up in winter and the rocker cover was always coated internally in mayonaise.

 

Doesn't look as good as the BMC original though I admit.

For my clubman estate I used a piece of 3-ply plywood behind the front grille. Worked well.

Thats the one. Thank you, but it's a bit steep for 99 pounds for leather and a few clips. At least i got picture of it. Thanks!

Looks cheaply made which thats the same thing I'll do. but for a fraction of the cost.

Yeah they are pretty steep for what they are! that seller must have a load of them as they've been selling them for yonks!

 

I had a mk1 grille one and went and sold the damn thing on here. Wish I never did now though as could do with it soon!

I'll probably cut my own out with leather and punch a few eyelid holes in it with some brass sleeves on it. I'll post pictures in a few weeks. 

[megamini_jb]

Sounds good!

[MiniMoe2008]

Sounds good!

If I get it to work. would you like a copy of the template?

[megamini_jb]

A clubby one wouldn't be much use to me but a good idea and may look into mocking another one up myself. I still have a few photos of mine that I could go by!
