    Assuming it's a direct bolt on replacement I'm sure there will be plenty of Just-a Cooper owners willing to swap to get the S bumper. Same as I did way back when before getting the Aero Kit... and I'd say that car is definitely lowered..

    Apparently it's as simple as a bumper skin swap. Grille is the same on both models.

    That front end reminds me of the newer Citroens....

    I don't know why so many mfrs have gone to the huge gaping maw look for their front ends, but it's not appealing to me.

    It can't be for airflow, as most of it is covered up again with that big black bar across the middle.

    I will never understand why they didn't just paint that black bar body color, and let it separate the upper and lower grille area.

    Cost and/or ease of assembly?

    It would look even better without that stupid front license plate.

    Why? Because you put crub - if this forum goes that way and starts talking about fents and crubs - then either Nathan add those to the word filter or I'll find somewhere else to hang out. lol

    Fents and crubs are further proof that intelligence is diminishing resource in the gene pool.
