my wife wants a metal mesh for the lower grille - the one in the bumper on the bottom - for her MCS.

she also wants to do the faux grilles on the rear fascia to match.

are there any vendors who have such a set-up ? judging from other people's posts this may be a bit tricky to do due to clearance between the bumper & the front & rear ends, but it seems like a relatively simple mod, I just have to find a source for the parts.

I know it's noted that one can take a non-sized mesh & cut it to fit, but if there's a way to do it without that bit of work it's potentially worth it for me.

thanks,

Ben

that looks good. anyone have direct experience with these parts ?

the pics don't really show the part all that well, anyone know where there are larger ones ?

anything available for the rear bumper openings ?

Mini mania stock both front & rear grilles cut to size. I'm thinking of ordering them too.

this front piece :

Mini Mania front mesh
looks pretty decent, but I dunno whether it's worth 2x as much as the Moss piece.

where is the rear mesh ? doesn't seem to be on the MiniMania.com page. notice you're in the UK tho, so is there a second Mini Mania source over on your side of the pond ? the shadow flames are kinda cool too.

How do they fit?

Direct replavement for the standard item, but access has to be gained by bumper removal (easier than it sounds)
