G'day Ladies & Gents,

I purchased a job lot of mini bits today, and with it came a few grills, MK1 mini and Rover.

On them ive found a little plate that says "BENELITE Birmingham 26 England" I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything about this? where they a speed shop or something that sold aftermarket mini bits?

any helps appreciated, will get pics soon!

Makers of aftermarket grills that took two spotlights.... often used on Radford bespoke build Mini's.
