Can Cooper-S front bumper work on non-s?

Considering buying a non-S Cooper and wondering if the Cooper-S front bumper and grille can work on the non-S?

I only ask because I like the looks of the JCW bumper on the front, but it's a hair aggressive... and the S might be perfect.

Has anyone done this? Photos?

Did a search but with such common words to search with - it was useless.

Unless someone has physically tried it, there's no real way to tell. If I look up part numbers on each type of car, it will show different numbers.

The point is, we get a lot of cars in the bodyshop that I know parts will physically interchange but you wouldn't be able to verify other than trying it.

Not sure where you live but if you'e in the Charlotte area, if you can get your hands on a test bumper to try, I'll swap them out for you to try it for free.

you should also look at the factory Aero Kit as a toned down look

Yeah I saw that. I really dislike how the black strip just abruptly ends. I dislike the sideskirts on the JCW kit too. Looking to maintain that black strip.
