New 3-Slat Radiator Grille on the new 05s?

Hello everyone. I happened to be reading the new features of the 2005 models and stumbled upon the news of a new radiator grille. I was hoping someone would know what makes this grille different from previous models because I have an 05 to be delivered less than a month from now. Will my car be equiped with this grille? Or does this only aply to the cars delivered after January 1st? My original plans were to order the Aero Grille for the bonnet and the top of the front bumper. I already know about the modifications that are required to install the front bumper grille. But does anyone know if this new radiator grille will interfere with the installation of the Aero grille? Some feedback would be nice because I was going to order the parts today. Another issue I need answers on deals with the Invisishield material. If I order this stuff, will it still fit perfectly upon installation?

The only difference with the new grill over the old grille (Cooper S) is the new one has a smooth surround, dimensions are unchanged. Same for the Cooper, same dimensions, but you get a "Cooper S" style grille now with few grilles, as you have done with the Diesel over here for some time.

I prefer the new smooth look of the grill surround.... wonder if the parts are available at the dealers yet ?...
