Nice, I wouldn't have thought of using a grill off a Mini. How much trimming (if any) was required? Also would it be possible to see some pics? I'm all of a sudden intrigued, I have yet to decide on a grill for my F355 fascia.

the only pictures I could find were these. Not super clear but gives an Idea. Not a lot of trimming but I picked up 2 grills and used them for the hood vent and the side scoops so that it all matched. turned out nice and looks OEM.
Wow, looks good MaxQ. I've seen photo's of your car before on the forum, I wouldn't have guessed that was a Mini grill, nicely done! I noticed it incorperates the side moldings and marker lights, mine does also. As far as I know Fiero Fiberglass are the only one's who make a fascia that incorperates the side moldings and marker lights. Is that where you got yours?

EDIT: That may actually be Amida's bumper above... It looks like it drops off steeper from the hood forward, not following the same curve as the hood. The one from FieroFiberglass has a slightly more rounded slope matching that of the hood. Honestly, It's really hard to tell in the pictures...

I agree, it looks totally factory! I have the same one John WPB, did your's require any glasswork around the groove that accepts the modling? Mine upon arrival has cracking, I'm assuming it was damaged during shipping.

No, mine didn't have any cracks or anything when it arrived. If there were actual cracks and such, it had to be during shipping. JimmyS is a perfectionist and it would not have left in that condition I don't think. I just have some trimming around the parking lights to do to allow the Chrysler parking lights to fit in flush is all.
