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.

This is a review of the M12 stud conversion kit for the R53 MINI Cooper S. This is the second stud kit that I have installed. The first set was of much lessor quality and was totally worn out within six years of auto-x, track days and winter tire change-over.
These new studs appear to be far superior and slightly longer. I also like the unthreaded portion that allows lining up the nut to help prevent cross threading.
I do have one question; Do you recommend any using any lubrication on the threads of the studs? John W
Hi Aaron,I\'m just dropping you a line to say thank you for your awesome customer service. Frank arrived in the UK safe and sound yesterday with the auto sport module which I installed this morning. It was easy to wire up and works perfectly, I\'m thrilled with it.In the UK. I\'m a member of a couple of mini cooper forum\'s which I\'ve already posted the installation process on and will gladly give people your company details should they also wish to purchase a module from you. Once again thank you so much for making this a very pleasant and easy process from start to finish.
