Cooper S or JCW grill on a standard Cooper
Hello
I have done a search and can't see anything
Does anyone know if a Cooper S or JCW grill will fit on a standard Cooper,if so how and is there a guide at all?
The link below ahows one on a standard Cooper but it's in a different language and the video isn't about the bumper but shows it can be done somehow

I haven't yet I'm a bit worried I will mess it up or not be able to get the original off I need to see what tools I need to get it off too - any ideas?
i changed a grill I had in my 2004 mini years ago and remember it was very stressful lol
i have a standard (but mega spec) Cooper (non s) F56 in black so I'm thinking of going with the JCW grill I think that will look best and with that I can also change the colour of the strip on the bottom of it (seen ones on eBay different colours)

Thanks for this! Really appreciate it
your mini looks fantastic and has made me want to do this!
I too have the same model and year mini so hopefully it will be as easy as yours to do.

Do you have to declare this grill on insurance policy?
I love the strips you can get on eBay in different colours for the bottom of the grill so will buy them too

No worries.
Mine was in for foglight replacement under warranty, and since this involved them removing the bumper I asked them to remove the grill surround, so I could swap on the black one. Dealers were very helpful, he took me into the workshop to show me where the bumper fixings were.
I may have forgotten to declare the grill, but you should to be safe.
The bar on the grill simply unclips so you can wrap it yourself, or spray it.

Fantastic thank you! I've found I it hard to find a Cooper owner who has done this so it's much appreciated.I'm going to go for the JCW one and red strip thing for now as it will suit my black Cooper, and maybe neon blue strip in the future. Don't think I will be removing the grill surround at least not for now.Have you done anymore mods to the car?

Mostly just cosmetic stuff, so colour coded light surrounds, black grill surround, pressed plates, Mini door stripes.
All stuff that's easy to put back to standard for selling. Not sure it I'll keep it once the PCP runs out in Aug, but if I do then it's getting lowered on springs as I've the variable suspension, chipped, and remove the resonator or back box on the exhaust.

TBH, I know this might not be the advice you are looking for, but I'd rather put the money into buying a new S or JCW - i'm saving real hard for one
But since you asked, there's 2 sensible mods that one must do the 1.5:
1. Tyres is top priority - get the best performance tyre possible. Don't gimp on it even if it means no more money to do any other mods.
2. JB4/Dinan tuning module - pick your choice, it'll give you even more low end torque, but don't expect any changes at the top end (it feels like a volkswagen up!)
At the end of the day, 1.5 is borderline a sporty car, it feels it has a lot of potential but it really doesn't. Good luck and enjoy your car for what it is!

Thanks - I don't want one due to me living in a city I need an economical car.Just purely for looks I want to do a few changes nothing major and this JCW grill was one idea.I'm now certain I'm doing this!I haven't got bonnet stripes I'm not keen on the white ones on a black car though so I'm still thinking on this!

I have a hunch you're like me and prefer a more factory look (could be wrong). If I had a black mini, I would do custom stripes like the carbon edition.

Yeah I currently have gold jack mirrors on and looks good but wanted a more sporty look
was thinking red roof and wing mirrors would look good with black
but also seen really cool neon blue which goods great with black but maybe it's just me who thinks that as I've never seen one on the road lol
