Is the aftermarket JCW grill trim for the R56MCS, similar to the one here listed on Outmotoring, an OEM product or is just the stock one repainted?

if it is a OEM part, does anyone know the BMW/MINI Part number for this?

 

Yes it is an OEM part & sorry I don't have access to the part number.

 

check www.realoem.com

 

To remove the upper trim piece, do you just remove the couple of black screws, and then it pops right off??

 

yeah, i would recommend using some pliers to help collapse the little clip things so you dont snap them off. you'll know what i mean when you look at it. Its easy.

 

Does anyone have photos of this on an A/B MCS? I am thinking of getting one of these for mine.

Outmotoring's reply to my e-mail was that this is infact a OEM part.

Thanks.

 

Good advice (which i coulda used a few days ago) but it's actually no big deal.

The black upper grill trim comes with the new clip already installed on the piece. You just pop em up in there and tighten the 4 screws and your good to go.
