I got mine here: JCW grille for Cooper (non-S) but.... it looks like it won’t fit a 2012.

Maybe someone else will chime in...

Anyone?
I'm looking to install the jcw grill on a 2012 and all I've seen online is those that fit 2010 and older. What is the accuracy of that? I would hate to jump the gun and buy something that didn't fit.

I did find the black slat grill, but I'm not going to buy it until I've seen a non-S with it. Anyone have it?

The JCW grill for '07-'10 Coopers will NOT fit the '11-'12 Coopers.

I like the look of chrome caps on Molly. I picked a photo to put up on my site just because of the chrome mirror caps - they just kind of popped for me.

Look HERE and I think you'll see what I mean!

I wanna' go on that Run...darn I live so far away!!

You are right Albie they do stand out and can contrast with so many different MINI colors!!

I like that they not only look amazing, they are easier to keep clean than the White Mirror Caps were, and they make Molly's Wheels POP too!!

Come April I'll have her Driving Lights installed and I think I'll be getting those in Chrome as well, for the sake of easy cleaning.

Great looking MINI S&CLC!!! Are those the new wheels you were talking about getting? And are they really 16's?? They look bigger.

And +1 to using the term 'straight Cooper'!

Yep, that's with the new 16" shoes. The car lost nearly 55 lbs. (an astounding 30%!) of unsprung tire and wheel weight with this set-up. Coupled with the after market suspension, it handles, well, as they say, "like a go-kart on rails".

And, "Straight" Cooper, credit to you, my good man...

Thanks for the compliments, quite flattering coming from the owner of one of the best looking "Straight" MINIs on this site...

Enjoy.

I like the 16's. No reason to have huge wheels on a Cooper (or any MINI for that matter).

BTW, for those that want their Coopers a little lower, I'm giving away a set of TSW springs and figured I'd let my fellow Cooper owners know. See the link in my sig.
