    Think you mean the Aero Kit Grille which isn't specific to the S - should fit - check ebay as they are usually on there - or your friendly dealer :)

    This one:

    I fitted the black mesh grill to the bonnet and the mesh strip just below it to the standard cooper S bumper. The bonnet grill is a 10min job, the one below it is a pain in the butt. The bottom grill requires alot of cutting and drilling and a bit of spray painting(if your car isn't black and you're a bit pernickety!) The two grills are around £50 for the two.

    I think he will be wanting the R56 grille as he is looking to order a new car for January delivery. Not sure if anyone has tried swopping the grills over yet, but Im sure someone could have a look for you.
