Am I the only one who thinks that they have made a mistake by makingthe bumper grills on the s out of black plastic, what was wrong with the stainless steel on the front of the cooper.Does anyone make replacement grills for them because I would like to change them.

Are you talking about the black plastic that's on the fenders and on the bottom of the front bumper lip?
I'm not aware of a company that makes a replacement part for this, but there are a couple of people on this board that have painted the black plastic the same color as their car.
