IMPORTANT: This grill will NOT fit the Base Cooper 07+. It WILL fit all Gen2 S.

This is the 'facelift' 2011 factory grill which fits all generation 2 MINI Cooper S models. The main difference between the factory installed 2011 grill and the 07-2010 grill is that the openings in this grill are much larger and are a more defined 'stretched hexagon' pattern which looks pretty aggressive. The pattern is different than the JCW grill and looks just as nice but if you want to make your 07-10 gen 2 MINI look 'new', this is one step in the process. Easy swap takes around 5 minutes. You can either reuse your existing chrome grill trim or pick up a match Black JCW Grill Trim kit to make an all black grill setup.

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:
Gen2 MINI:
R55: 2008-xxxx Clubman: Cooper S
R56: 2007-xxxx Hatchback: Cooper S
R57: 2009-xxxx Convertible: Cooper S
R58: 2011-xxxx Coupe: Cooper S
R59: 2011-xxxx Speedster: Cooper S

This will NOT fit any of the Cooper models - ONLY the "S" model..



** We also have this grill available WITH brackets for OEM lights. The grill in this kit has the slots for the brackets as well. While the brackets are custom designed to work with OEM lights, we have seen them modified to work with Piaa lights with minor tweaking (filing down of about 1/16" of material on the bracket hinge). They will also with other brands like Hella if the metal bracket is modified to allow the larger bolt hole to protrude through the bracket.
