I had been looking at the S style grill for my Cooper for a while and I got a hook up for a free one. This was before. Big "gangsta" grill. Not really my style or preference. The new sporty S grill. I think it looks alot better. And yes, those are slots for driving lights. I am looking into chrome driving lights.
New Grill, Too Just put a new black OEM Aero grill on my MCS. Yours looks the same with the bigger grill openings. If you haven't noticed already, take a look at the right side. It's been opened up to allow better air flow to the intake tube. Why it ain't that way on the standard grill is beyond me. OK, I'll admit I also changed it for looks, too. :blush2: PS: Good looking MINI!!
