I will check tonight, but I belive the entire grill was powdercoated white (the bumper is powdercoat, as is all the chrome parts on the car..). The recesses between slats appear to have been painted black to stand out. 

I've been successful in stripping the powdercoat off the chrome bits (look at the headlight bezels) with paint stripper, so it's not that hard. 

please confirm if the chrome slats are powder coated in white?

Edit - never mind, i see it's been painted to match the white bumper 

I should have included that info! 

Here's a photo of the grill installed - I haven't removed it yet, but will do so and take more photos. 

I'll add my email address to profile as well. 

Pictures of grill would be helpful.

Also, no name or contact info (email addy) in profile

If anybody's interested, I have what I believe to be a Mk1 Benelite grill w/spotlight cutouts that's been powdercoated white and painted black. In great condition with the spotlights included - would trade straight across for a standard Austin Mk1 grill & mustache surround in new or clean condition. 

There's no "Benelite" tag on the top, but looks like most other Benelite grills and I'm not aware of any other companies that made these. 

I'm in California. 

That's great, thank you SxS, I appreciate your help!

pologround - I noticed you ended up with 4 grilles! Are the mk 2 ones with spotlight holes?

Well a wise man once said " They who smelt it dealt it ". 

I went back and found an email in the sent folder, sent him a new email and asked him to join in the thread.

SxS

( Maybe I'm confusing wise with crass or raunchy 

I'll look again, I think I deleted the email.

It may be a "fart in the wind"

hi sxsman, you mentioned in a previous post that "someone from this forum that had one and looked, turned out to be a Mk2. [email protected]"

As as im after a mk2 version would you be able to put me in touch with them please?

thanks! 

Missed the important bit out!  Looking for a mark 2 grille with cut out holes for spotlights!  Thanks for pointing it out!

Cheeky monkey ...........

not in trouble, but this statement could have lol! "After pologrounds needs have been met I'd be interested" heehee, i'm no longer looking for a benelite grille; ended up with two mkis and two mk2s.

Is that regular email ( [email protected] ) or pm ? If pm I'm not sure as to how to access pm's . I'm not seeing an email.

Also,( swallowing)  I'm I in trouble ? 

"A day late and a dollar short."

sxsman, you got mail. 

I've also looked an missed out on a fog lamp grill for a Mk1 (Benelite). I'm looking for a grill like this   I sold a few things on craigslist and in the meantime the grill owner sold the grill, my loss. A day late and a dollar short.  

Had someone from this forum that had one and looked, turned out to be a Mk2. I need a Mk1 with opening for external release.

Not looking to hijack this thread but I'm also looking for one at a decent price. After pologrounds needs have been met I'd be interested. [email protected]

    SxS  (at least this one's in time)

...... with or without cutout holes for spot/fog lamps? 

Hi everyone,

I'm new on this forum and am looking for a Benelite grille for a Mk 2 if anyone has one.

I would be interested in getting hold of some detailed info which might allow me to create one using a spare grille I have for my Mini 30.

any help greatly appreciated!

thanks

Hi All,

i'm after a mk1 Benelite grille if anyone has one, NOT a benelite for a mk1 they are different..

will try to post a picture

regards

please email [email protected]

Sold for $100. Now I can sleep well at night knowing that I paid less for it and didn't try to sell it for the ridiculous UK prices.
