I had the dealer install the chrome grill in my MCS when it became available as an option in October 2003.
Hope this helps...

The question 'Fairmont' asked was: "Is this a perfect match, top and bottom?"
My answer was no. If you have to alter or modify, I don't believe it is 'a perfect match'.
I stand by my original post. (October was when mine was done, not when it became available.)
The following, (Motoringfile) as well as the dealership, is where I got my information:
The Cooper S Chrome Grille is Here!

It's been a long time in coming but now MCS owners can officially join the chrome grille club. In the past those that wanted the the chrome look had to alter (cut) the MC four-bar chrome grille to get it to fit into the MCS hood. However with this new grille it should be a fairly straightforward installation.
Here's the actual text from the service bulletin (supplied by an internal source):
"Aftersales is pleased to announce the release of a chrome grille for the MINI Cooper S. Available in the same three-bar pattern as the factory-equipped body coloured grille, the new chrome piece is an easy install and is sure to brighten up any Cooper S. It's attention grabbing styling lends a unique look."
Here are the part numbers: Grille (upper) - 51 13 7 122 473 - $72.25
Grille (lower) - 51 11 7 032 900 - $24.25
Hope this helps...
