Scuttles on a Cooper Hardtop

Greetings all from the sunny south. I am taking delivery of my new F56 (code name Hedley Lamar) tomorrow evening. I really would like the blackjack side scuttles on the vehicle but am being told they do not for the plain model but only the S. Has anyone had the scuttles and plates relaxed on your Cooper non s model? Not sure if dealer is correct or if it is real. Thanks all and look forward to sharing more with all

That seems ridiculous, the scuttle area is exactly the same as far as I know

If you use the Mini accessories web site at Mini Germany (http://www.mini.de/accessories/index.html?r=1) it says the Black Jack scuttles fit all 3- and 5-door models.

In another thread we discussed using 3M tape instead of the liquid adhesive to attach them so it would be removable.

They use liquid adhesive? Are they insane?

It appears it's some sort of black adhesive. Supposedly non-removable.

Here they are. Wasn't an issue at all on the install. Basically tab a into slot b and then glue on. Can't believe a dealership couldn't figure this out.......
