DIY White aero kit grille

Hello. I got a bit bored, so bought primer, the nearest paint to Aspen White I could find, and some lacquer, and did this mod of a mod.

I'd originally fitted an aero kit grille about 3 or 4 years ago when the MCS was new, but at the time hadn't dremmeled the bottom grille down, so I did that this time around.

Probably not a first, but don't think there are many amateur white grilles out there...

...I feel like I'm turning a bit chav to be honest

A wet dream can only become a reality if you chase it...

Painting wheel arches is definitely too far for me

I've got a scoop coming in the post, from eBay... that'll be white too when painted, so maybe that'll make things better or worse, not sure! I've got a spare set of grille already acquired from eBay as well, so will just put those on in their natural black if I go off this.

I'm looking out the window now and I'm a bit meh about the white grilles... but hey, its a MINI, its supposed to look different...
