Red face The Mini Exploded!!!

Just kidding. But it looks like it did! I took the front half of the Mini apart so I could install a factory Aero Kit grill. The upper wasn't too hard but the lower took all day. It took much customization plus a lot of disassembly.


Here is a before picture:


And here is an after:

Nice Brad!

Check this out -- this is the site of a guy I know from an M Coupe board...he did the same install...just read his notes on it, I think you'll feel like you're not alone. It's near the bottom of the page.

The things we do in the name of customizing.... lol Good work, Brad. Very nice touch. My car has been looking the same lately because I've been doing some modifying myself. My car has been in 4 pieces for a week now. lol

Dog-gone it, Brad. Don't scare me like that! When I saw your thread title, I was really afraid that you and the Bradette had had a catastrophe. <where's the icon for heart palpitations?>
