Driving lamp kit question...

Looking to buy the OEM driving lamp kit from Outmotoring since its a bit cheaper than from miniusa.

I will be needing to order a new grille with the holes for brackets. I wanted to know whether the JCW grille is compatible with my cooper S. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I believe they are the same size but I know the JCW has the honey combed (longer holes) pattern vs. the regular S grille. And will it look odd since the lower grille outside of the intercooler will be kept the same? Have any of you mixed and matched?

Thanks for any fb.

I'm pretty sure you can just carefully cut the old grill. Did you read the instructions yet? Sometimes they are online and you can get an idea of the job ahead.

EDIT: in the how-to section of outmotoring..

Actually just looked at them side by side and they look exactly the same.. maybe I have the JCW grille... interesting, I'll read up on how to cut them, thanks!
