Just warning ya, it isn't for the faint of heart. I did it to my '04 BRGreen mini and I love the look, mostly because I hate chrome on the car, but it was a major hassle. I would say I threw in a good 3-4 hours of labor for that. Not only do you have to shave down that lower piece, but you have to remove the whole entire bumper!!!!

If you have the money I would seriously consider replacing that front bumper with the sports one and then swapping out the grill.

p.s. I just posted some old pics in my gallery with the sports grill and please note, DO NOT try and do that painting yourself. First of all the paint I ordered which was the BRG mini color was not a match. Second, the clearcoat I used was also not appropriate for this application. The stuff looked good for about a month and then went south. I have since sanded it off, will post those pics when I get a chance. If you want that painted look, get it professionally done.

Tsk tsk Check again, there IS an S forum... Drivetrain (Cooper S). Sorry, having the S hood doesn't count.

Speaking of running, why don't you run outside and snap some pics for me.

What do you mean by the black aero grille?
Just wondering, because I have an '03 with an aero grille and black honeycomb inserts.
Check out my gallery.
