Mini Countryman Cooper S Grille

[manxR60]

My Mini Countryman is a 2014 pre-facelift Cooper S. Does the face -lifted ( mid 2014) Cooper S fit as a direct replacement?

Advice wanted
Have got the grille to fit, any tips on the fitting. I have watch the few vids on Youtube and it looks like you undo the 4 self tappers along the top and gently pull the grille towards you gently? Am I right in doing this?

I think you have got it right ,William will comment as he has done a few

Spot on. There is a row of clips along the bottom. Use a trim tool to unclip them and take your time.
