I would contact Aaron at Outmotoring to confirm That none of the existing options fit. The '11 Cooper hood is the same as the Cooper S just without a scoop, so the grill and lower grill trim from an S *should* line up if the attachment method is similar.
That does look nice! It is a lease though so I need to talk to them about what I am allowed to do. I am assuming I need to turn it back in in the same shape so I am not sure if I am allowed to paint the grill.
I guess i could always buy a spare chrome one and dip that.

Painted mine with plastia dip and it looks good. Very easy to remove and for less than $5 dollars its great. When you turn it in they won't even notice and if they do a replacement grill is only a few bucks.
My $.02 worth
MINI changed the grill enough that this particular grill cannot work on the 2011 and we have not found another version that will work, unfortunately...

I was actually looking at getting a black grill for my non-S. I saw this is mossmini.com. It looks like its similar to the JCW aero kit grill. They have a non-S listing for it, I just don't know anyone whos done it with success.

This looks the same as the one Outmotoring offers. I have the one from Outmotoring, it came in a BMW box so I'm pretty sure it is a MINI part. The problem is that this one does not fit the 2011 because of the new changes.

Ahh, ok. I didn't realize there was changes to the 2011 grill. Good thing I posted here. I just contacted moss to see what they tell me.
I'd imagine that since MINI is now offering the JCW package (7HN) for the Cooper and it includes the black grill that the black grill can be ordered as a replacement part and therefore should be able to be ordered straight from MINI even if it was not as a replacement. Anyone?
That's good new, but yeah the one on the mossmini site will not fit 2011 models even though it doesn't say that.
Ya, just heard back from mossmini. Bummer. Are there plans for the updated grill?
The answer to your question is no, the combination you describe will not work. BMW made more modifications in the 2011, and apparently the grille is among them.
