Bump still on the hunt. Last guy didn't accept G&S. Unless you've been around the forums for a while, or have a history in the marketplace...

Have you considered the ebay look alike grills ? I've had a few and they all fit and looked nice imo.

I'm looking for the aero bumper grille. Not an S grille. Is there one I'm not aware of?

Are you talking about the lower grill?

Those are getting very difficult to find nowadays.

Part #
51110139106

UK seller has one on ebay at the moment...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/325387895...6&toolid=10001

...alternatively,
you could try calling around junkyards:

https://www.car-part.com/

...I've gotten lucky doing that before although the site isn't exactly precise and requires a little work to find what you're looking for,
then calling up the yard on the telephone.

if I could buy that one from the UK I would. I can't seem to find the grille on ebay at all.

The blue car pictured got striped for all the good parts already

The ebay link that I posted is still up and active,
but that seller also has a regular website,
so you could contact them that way too...

https://www.lamini.co.uk/

:

And yeah,
you highlight another problem with that car-part site --- all too often the listings are way outdated and sometimes too I've noticed different yards using the same pic of a certain car, and it's sort of a hassle calling around too.

Good luck on your search!

I tried to get the manufacture of the MINI aftermarket aero bumper we sell to make the grilles. They said they might make it but no eta. The AERO Gen 1 side skirts and rear bumper were on their list but they could not guarantee it. The good thing is they are MINI fans and know like myself what people are looking for. If anything changes I will post up on the new vendor release on the top of the page.

Only other thing is to get the upper aftermarket grille on the bumper and the hood grille. Not the same grille slat design but its looks like the R56 slat design. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-bremmen-...r-body-grille/ The lower bumper grille no one makes that yet. We carry a bunch of aftermarket option for nla parts that no one has for select MINI models. Just not that aero Gen 1 lower yet. Good luck on the search.

Has anyone looked into getting this grille 3D printed? I've also been on the hunt for quite some time.
