My recollection of the grille on my pre-facelift was that it had a peg at the bottom in the middle that fitted in a grommet in the bumper and two screw fixings at the top.

If the e-bay picture is of the item for sale then I would say it is for pre-facelift (and won't fit a facelift).
thats exactly the point i was trying to make above ::)

I second that
The pic is identical to the grill fitted to my old 98 mini facelift

HA,

so you can see my dilemma.
I've not got money to be chucking at it. Hence looking for a reasonable badgeless grill replacement that's not going to cost me £100 or so.

I give up lol.
I'll just leave it standard for a while lol

i think i have one of those as shown in the advert in my shed, i took it out of my minifacelift as soon as i bought it , so yes it will fit your prefacelift  :y  i took it out of the car because it really does look cheap and nasty but for the cost of postage i will send it to you then you can see for yourself, i mean £24.99 that is a total rip off m8, send me a pm with your address and i will send it to you forget the postage and then you will see how bad they actually are, you are really better saving and buying a decent one  :y
ohhh as a bonus it wont be cluttering up  my shed  ;)

Ha, well on one hand i want to say cheers, here's my address, and on the other hand i am of course reluctant as it seems the general consensus is that they look BAAAAAAD.

Sooo, options.
I'll cover your postage if you send it to me. And then if anything, it'll just sit in MY shed instead?
deal?
lol :y

Don't do it that grill is absolutely hideous. It looks more B&Q then Irmscher.

Keep it and put it to some use across the top of the barbeque keeping the sausages and burgers warm  ;)
