Looking to trade my JCW grille for an S grille

I recently purchased a JCW grille for my new all black mini to replace the stock chrome one. I was unaware that there is such a difference in the size of the openings in this grill versus the stock lower grille. Unless i am incorrect the stock Cooper S Grilles have the same size openings as my stock lower grille..

So in short if there is anyone on here that would be interested in trading me grilles i am willing to pay shipping to the person if they ship me their grille. Has to be a stock cooper S Grille and has to fit my 09 Mini plaincooper..

Thanks

Are you looking to swap the top and bottom or just the bottom? I might be interested.

I think I read somewhere that the S and non-S grilles are not interchangeable. As you can see on the Outmotoring web site, it's 2 different part numbers.

I know they will install.. I took out a stock non s grille (chrome) and replaced with a JCW grille for an S.. Just dont like the holes being different sizes.. I think they are different part numbers just by difference in apearance..

The grilles aren't interchangable between cars. You have to either get the black one from the dealer or another online vendor like OutMotoring.com.
