Type 430 Stainless Steel Construction
The wide grille slats are manufactured from Type 430 automotive stainless steel.
Where stainless steel components contact conventional metal fittings, some surface staining can occur over time. One advantage of the stainless construction is that these marks can generally be cleaned and polished from the surface, helping maintain the grille's appearance.
 
Classic Cooper Styling
The wide-slat grille is one of the most recognisable styling features of the classic Morris Mini Cooper and Cooper S.
 
For this reason, the grille and matching surround are also frequently fitted to suitable later Classic Minis as part of a retro-style front-end conversion.
 
Internal Bonnet Release Option
For vehicles fitted with an internal bonnet locking/release conversion, a grille version featuring a complete upper slat is available.
 
This eliminates the need for the traditional external bonnet-release access associated with the original arrangement and provides a cleaner appearance.
 
Suitable For
Morris Mini Cooper
Morris Mini Cooper S
Applicable early Classic Mini restorations
Later Classic Minis being converted to a retro Cooper-style appearance
 
Important Fitment Information
Grille arrangements, bonnet release mechanisms and front-panel configurations can vary between Classic Mini models and modified vehicles.
 
If your Mini has an internal bonnet release, ensure you select the appropriate grille configuration with the full top slat.
 
For highly original restorations, always confirm the grille and surround specification appropriate to the particular model and production period.
