Anybody have a custom grille or have any ideas for one?
I'm thinking about doing something different not sure yet...
Photoshops welcome for the photochop savy.

How about you do the crome trim around the outside, then the grill in black.
I reckon that would look cool.
I really love the innocenti grills too.

how about standard chrome trim around the outside, black honeycomb grille and 2 vertical chrome pinstripes equally spaced dividing it into thirds (if that makes sense) i always thought that would look pretty cool :oops:

You could do the old skool style and remove every 2nd slat out of the Deluxe style grill.

On desert car kings there was a guy who had matt black painted expanded metal mesh. He then added the little round chrome door handles at the intersections and made it into this really bling and cool looking grille. don't know if it would work on a mini though as he had it on a 50's chev or something..

yeah, it was pretty 'odd'... glad to see I'm not the only one that was put through that show.

Now, back to Grills, this I thought was good,

Edit: as this site doesn't seem to like hot-linking their pics, just click on the grills section. http://www.minitrailers.com

or you could go the full custom job
