Hey,

I drive a P reg 1.3i and the bonnet has never matched up with the grille propperly. It seems to sit just above the grille surrounds and looks odd when viewed from the front. I've tried removing it and reprosition it but still no joy?
Someone recently reversed into me and caved in the original grille, so I replaced it with the right one for the model but it's just the same.

Any one got any ideas?

Many thanks

Have you got any pictures of your Mini?

Yeah, piccies are always good. I recently replaced one of the side grille surround trims and now I've got a similar problem, so don't think it's only down to the bonnet alignment, it could be other things as well. I found that the holes for the grille surround trim were in slightly the wrong places and had to drill them out slightly to get them to fit (doesn't help that I'm not using the standard screws to hold it all in place!), but now the two side trims don't quite match up! I'm sure it can be easily fixed with some more drilling and some patience, just keep tinkering until it looks right.

[size=3]Thanks, I'll get some pics in for you to have a look at. The grille's already up to the lip but I'll have a closer look at it and see if I can move it and surrounds about a bit .

Thanks

Ste
