The top grille fits perfectly , the lower grille you need to remove the bumper to fit this product. Minor alterations needs to be done to the width of the grille to make it sit flush in the bumper, otherwise its the correct size to fit in the space. Its a jcw original part.
There is a pdf i have which was released by bmw mini in order to go about fitting these grilles to the stock cooper s bumper. In january alfa bodyworks quoted me R250 to have it all done, including spraying the section matt black behind the lower grille, it is blue standard, but with the jcw lower grille iy has mesh so you can see through it, i just thought having a all black image would look much better.
Pics of it,
looks exactly the same
