Grill size difference between R50 & R53?

Is there a top grill size difference between the mini and miniS?
found a front grill which I may want to swap mine out with, but its an S model.

Top front grills are the same size between R50/R53, fully interchangeable.

Yep, they're fully interchangeable, BUT if the grill you're looking to swap is from an '05-'06, the outer trim will be different, as in the '02-'04's that trim is "ribbed", on '05-up it is smooth.

thanks, the outer trim looks ribbed so it should fit perfectly.
