had one for my 2008 R56 and it cut down reception about 20%; now my 2013 could use this baby for cosmetic reasons - SO HOW IS THE DAMN RECEPTION PEOPLE? thank you,

Excellent fit. I bought the matte black to try and match the rest of the trim and it looks factory installed.
Removing the OE chrome grill "nuts" was a bit of a pain, so I elected to just snap the plastic threads off rather than attempt to remove them. I wouldn't plan on keeping the OE grill as the plastic threads and stamped nuts are practically destroyed no matter how gentle you are.
The upper grill snaps in and use the same fasteners as the OE. The new stamped nuts can be a bit annoying, just seat the nut on the ball of your thumb and turn. Once the nut cuts into the plastic use a nut-driver to snug up--don't over tighten.
The lower grill just snaps in. I cleaned and plasti coted the bumper black, as you can see the bumper color behind the new grill--my car is red so it really stood out.
This grill makes the car look so much better and more up to date. I really like it.

I have ordered many items from Outmotoring in the past (I live in London) and the service they have given me has always been first class. If you have an issue with regard to an item or order, all you have to do is email them and they will always try to help you out and resolve the problem. I would recommend them for any of your Mini accessories. Eddie

I purchased a trunk latch and back door logo. The website gave me confidence I had purchased the correct parts. The delivery was super fast, and the parts fit perfectly - the replacement was done in less than an hour (mostly cleaning the old adhesive). Excellent service, high marks!
This antenna looks great on my Blazing Red 2016 MINI and the reception is just as good as the original factory antenna, even with distant stations and inclement weather. Super easy install and great style!
Advantages: Great value, excellent reception.
Disadvantages: None
