Mach V Dan Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 We want to test-fit some of the older MINI grill parts on a 2011 model. If you are willing to come by and allow us to poke around under the hood of your new MINI, we'd be very grateful. We'll see if we can rustle up some kind of goodie for you to take with you by way of thanks. --Dan Mach V
carman63 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 Are you specifically targetting 2011 models? If so, I'll get permission from my wife to bring her R57 by. If a 2010 will work, I'll bring my Clubman by this week. How long do you need it, and how extensive is this 'exploratory surgery'?

Jim - I'm pretty sure it has to be a 2011 model. That's the "refreshed" model year, where MINI changed some things compared to 2007-2010. Much in the same way that the 1st Gens were refreshed in the 2005 model year.

carman63 Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 I figured that might be the case, but you never know
IndiCooper Posted May 3, 2011 Report Posted May 3, 2011 While yall are swapping out grill pieces with various models can you check to see if the 2011 grill and trim will fit a 2010/other 2nd gen, I noticed when I put the 2011 bumpers on my car that the grill piece on them didnt match the grill on the bonnet, so if they'll fit I'd like to get a matching grill:top:
Mach V Dan Posted May 5, 2011 Author Report Posted May 5, 2011 Yeah, it has to be a 2011. Yeah, we'll check between the older and new models. --Dan Mach V
teamholly Posted July 19, 2011 Report Posted July 19, 2011 (edited) I have a 2011 Countryman that I could bring by. How much time are we talking about ? Edited July 19, 2011 by teamholly clarification
BigDog Posted July 20, 2011 Report Posted July 20, 2011 Dan, I have a 2011 Countryman. I'd be interested in seeing what can fit my Mini vs the others. I can find parts, they are just sparse at this point. Where are you located and when are you looking to do it? Thanks, Joe '11 MCS Countryman "Oreo" R60 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
teamholly Posted July 22, 2011 Report Posted July 22, 2011 Dan, Are you interested in the Countryman? If so, I'm sure we can work something out.
