Crap so basically I have to get the JCW one for $60. Or get super lucky and get a non-s one.
How about just having the stock grille painted black? Seems like I've seen that done and it looks good. In fact, if it would fit I might like to try that on my MCS.

Depending on what lights you get you might have to cut your own holes. If they're OEM lights you can get the "with brackets" grille from OutMotoring.com.
I couldn't wait to get the "gills" off, too. I ordered the JCW, just because it was the first thing I found and didn't know that the MCS grill wouldn't have worked anyway I'm wondering why it wouldn't... I also swapped out the chrome trim with black.
Here's before:

That grille and stripes were the first mods I made on my MIni. The stock grille is just gruesome IMHO. As someone noted above, 15 minutes tops to install.

I bought a JCW grill off my pal inimini here. I think it looks great and it was painless to install. I later bought a new grill badge holder for it. I don't have any photos because I only just got it last November and theres little reason to photo my car in this horrible winter weather.
I didn't do the driving lights but I haven't ruled it out either. I'm really enjoying buying new decorations for my car. Eventually there won't be another that even looks simmilar to it.

To answer the question about the JCW grill having bigger holes than the MCS's grill. Yes it does. They are a very noticeable difference in sizes between the two. Oxy the M7 grill is going to look sick bro! Oh I painted my factory a while ago while bored at the house one day. Looks good but Im more into the honey comb look of the JCW grill than the factory grill.
