Hi,
Do any one have a picture of a lightning blue cooper whit the JCW grill, with both the upper and lower surrounding in black?
I'm thinking of doing this to my car but I'll like to see how it looks first.

I would say no as the grille fixes that differ between the Cooper & S are at the top and attach to the engine bay not the bumper. The spacing of the holes is different.

When my wifes comes back in her S I will take a photo of them both (hers & my One) to show you what I mean.

It may be possible to drill holes in the correct places though to fit.

Please someone correct me if I am wrong!

Ok, pics below of the problem area.

On the Dooper/S the gap is longer than the Cooper/One between the top middle two fixing points. As this attaches to the engine bay and not the bumper this would need a bit of DIY hole making along the top of the grille.

If Adam can shed light on how he did it then that would be helpful as well.

Hope that helps.

Decided to clean the engine bay while I waited as well!
