We produce aftermarket brightly polished stainless steel grilles for the Mini One and Cooper, however we have recently had some saying that they don't fit their model!

We acknowledge that they don't fit the Diesel models and the Cooper S, however some have said that their car is neither. It appears that the BMW changed the front end at some point and put a silver bar across and changed the shape.

Can anyone please tell me when the grille changed so that we can change the spec?

Our grille is shown on the red Mini and the alternative is on the blue one.

Your help will be much appreciated.

I think it was earlier than that - certainly the Cabrio came with the new nose from Day One

Should have changed on any cars from July 04 onwards. I was due to collect mine in June, but waited until released in July for the facelift ('05) model.

Hope this helps
