MINI F56 COOPER S BLACK GRILLE STRIP REPLACEMENT!!

[@nicholasr6381]

Love your work. I admire how you have nerves of steel to pull your car apart. I'm always terrified I set the airbags off accidentally lol. PS it needs a passenger display lol 😜

[@BenRolfe]

Thank you! I’d rather take the longer approach to installing something like this to ensure it’s done right without damaging anything. I still have my one out of my old car that I’m debating putting back in

[@nicholasr6381]

@@BenRolfe I think they're great. The grille looks great btw. I'm trying to work out if there is a method to fit one to a 2023 model. Sadly the company I approached when I bought my 2023 car said there wasn't the demand for them.

The black makes it look so much better......

[@BenRolfe]

Thank you ☺️

Looks great.well done for not breaking any clips .I have changed the grill, surround and chrome strip and I know it can be nerve racking.Lots of cursing and cut fingers.Need to be patient.😊

[@BenRolfe]

It’s definitely not the easiest job but it’s worth taking the time to do it

Why though? £70?? It's a massive faff. My husband wrapped the same piece on my 2020 Cooper S F56 in "Cadbury Purple" and it turned heads wherever I went. We did make a screw up ourselves as I thought I was buying the front grille surround cover that clipped/stuck un with 3D tabs in black (as my original was chrome) but we realised that we had purchased the ultimate faff, as in the whole surrounding cover which needed all the clips doing. I have since sold the 2020 Cooper S and I now have a 73 plate Cooper SE which I absolutely love. I have the level 3 but again, it had a chrome "mouth" which annoying me was the lci2 changeover and was a different shape so this time my husband has treated it with peelable paint which has done a cracking job. Will definitely use it again

[@ralph11871]

Question. Would it be better to change out the chrome strip at same time you’re doing the chrome surround piece? I just received the surround today but thinking of holding off until I get the strip

[@Oplix]

Really liking this new spec

[@ODF-MEXICO]

What do you recommend I use to delete the engine warning lights?

[@BenRolfe]

Black tape 😉

[@Guillermoyo]

I have just managed to do this without detaching the grill surround and removing the honeycomb grill. I spent sooo long trying to get the clips released I gave up and went straight for the 16 grill strip clips. It can be done.

Do you run a uk Mini group Ben? Just curious as I was the founder of South Lincolnshire Mini Owners Club/SLMOC.
