the one on my car is the base silver color that was on the grill when purchased.
im going to go back and paint it over with silver paint since there is
bare metal showing where i cut it. I don't think it would rust to a point
it would make it drip orange water, but just to be safe.
and yes, the nuts are 8mm.

or black if you want those. the silver is painted silver over the galvanized
silver paint that it came in.
i painted them and drying now.

paint if it does rust (which i dont think it would to the extent that it
would be orange) or use it as a template and make your own.
i took you off the list for now, if you're still interested, let me know!

As far as air flow, that was brought up in an earlier thread about this mod. It apparently has little to no effect.

oh the irony!...
...less than a week ago i posted the intercooler screen DIY, and mentioned "(I'd love to get my hands on a spare mesh (plastic) radiator grill...". implying this would make the intercooler screen match. today, if you look closely at the MINI2 pics of the '07s...
