Grill interchange 2009 to 2011s

Can I put my 2009 base grille on a 2011 S?

Do they interchange?

Check realoem.com for parts compatibility, there were some changes from the R56 to R56 LCI.

I think the lower edge where the grill follows the bumper profile is contoured slightly different between the two model years. Might fit up, but look a little bit off.

Yep is that lower bumper changes that causes all the difference for the grille.
