IMPORTANT: This grill will NOT fit the Base Cooper 07-2010 model! It WILL fit all 2011 and newer Gen2 Cooper models.

If you want to get rid of the stock chrome "slat" style grill this is one of the best options on the market. It's black. It's cool. It's OEM, so it fits just righ.

To install:
open hood and pull out the 4 plastic heads from the 4 round plastic inserts along the top edge of the existing grill flange. Pull directly OUTWARD on the lower grill trim and squeeze the 4 V shaped tabs to release grill from the bumper. Bam, you're done (aside from putting the new one on!!)

Fits these MINI models:

R57: 2011-xxxx Convertible: Cooper
R58: 2011-xxxx Coupe: Cooper
