I am thinking about putting grill buttons on, what are peoples thoughts about these? Do they make life a lot easier, making it worthwhile to put them in?

You should put your heart & soul into everything you do.

One of the first things I will do when I get a new Mini from wherever. The benefits are just so great for the low cost. You can check the dizzy cap on a whim.

Watch the cheaper chrome ones, they have seemed to lose their chrome in just a few years for me. The alloy ones are lighter and won't chip your paint either if you drop them onto the beaver when unscrewing them...

Yep , had them for quite a few years now , beats removing a heap of screws , although i do still have the two top screws in .

Is that to stop the grill sagging?

No Mick , more to do with , if for some reason the buttons fall off or get pinched the grill doesn't fall off .

Hairy muff...

I say that because I reckon I've got a little bit of sagging going on.
I think however its in sympathy to its owner.

are there more vibrations and noises from it being anchored from just the two side points?

I have two screws each side as well as the top two and have wondered about going for the grill button option and yep it's a pain to undo them all just to adjust something !

Yes that does look very sweet, quite like the green!

The two screws might be a good insurance policy.
