I don't remember seeing this grille when the teaser shots of the new clubbie went up a few months a go but recently saw a picture of the new grille on an F56 delivered to a dealer and imo it's absolutely hideous. The S and jcw don't look bad since they get a full honeycomb grille but the multiple bars,get a big no from me.Attachment 8080Attachment 8081
Agreed - I've always preferred the bar grille on the R53 & R56 to the aero mesh but not keen on that. Looks a bit too Audi for me
It looks like a towel radiator.

I saw a couple on the dealer stand down at MMM with that grille on and didn’t think it looked too bad. It does look a little plasticy up close though.
Looks too much current Ford grilles for me, one reason why I would not buy a Ford at present.
I can see the likes of Mini Bitz and SMPS offering grille kits for this.

I don’t mind the Clubby Grille but as always for me it’ll be a pain to keep clean lol. I still prefer the original one though.
The hatch one looks terrible in the photos but no doubt they’ll be a black out kit for it that’ll make MINI some money.
Sometimes change for change sake isn’t always the best thing ...

Don’t mind it on the Clubman yet to see it on a hatch
