Its the JCW style grill. you can get it on outmotoring.com I believe you have to order it for the cooper specifically.

Looks sharp! Looks like your grill has the openings for driving light brackets. Next mod?
I had my JCW grill even before I took delivery of my MINI. But for some reason or another, the chrome slats have grown on me. Maybe I'll get around to it on a boring afternoon...

Yup. Chrome driving lights are on the list for sure. Once the money comes in I will be getting it......and probably getting someone at MINI to do it since I couldnt wire a clock to an onion to save my life.

That was my first mod too. Looks great, plus the "gills" grille is awful for airflow.

Yeah the original isnt great for cooling. I like the sporty look of the new grill.
The old one is still functional though

Remember the $225 is for replacement parts ie you get new parts (you keep the old ones) and includles the tailights.

My first Mini mod was the same, closely followed by matching JCW scuttle inserts. It all looks great on the Oxy Blue!
I agree that the original grill has little to no airflow. To take advantage of the newly found air, a drop-in K&N filter seemed a good idea as well.
Enjoy your Mini and your mods!

They look good but I am mainly going for a classic look. I dont do that much driving that requires high visibility lights.

Would a Clubman-S or a Cooper-S honeycomb mesh grill fit on a Non-S?
Basically what I'm asking is if I bought the black honeycome grill off a Cooper-S or Clubman-S, would it fit my Non-S?

Not really sure about the fitment, but the JCW grille looks very similar, and it's cheap. If you actually called the dealer to order an S grille I'm sure they would charge more than $55.

The S grill will fit, but the JCW has a bigger honeycomb on it and is probably still cheaper than S-type grill. outmotoring.com has them for cheap only $55 for it.
