Upgrading to JCW bumper

Hi there! This is definitely possible. I just did this upgrade to my 2019 F60, and it's completely bolt-on. I bought all the parts brand new, and the bumper came in with prime only. The easiest way to do this is to find a used JCW bumper and paint it to match the color of your car.

Here is the result:

Thanks for the information, you have a very nice Mini, the question I have is if it can be fitted since mine is equipped with an air duct with flap control
Thank you

Do you have a cooper D or SE? The Diesel and hybrid minis do have different front grilles and the JCW bumper might not be able to fit on them. I’m not 100% sure though. Cooper and Cooper S should fit just fine.

Hello, I have a cooper sd, hence my doubt, the gasoline mount this ref 51747390474 and mine is diesel 51747390475, the truth is that it seems the same in measurements, it only differs in the flaps.
Thank you

To install the fog lights did you modify the connector? Or is it plug and play?
thank you

Hi, the older fog light and the newer one(with the LED ring) have different connectors. My car is an early 2019 model, so I had to make my own adapter to install the new fog light.

The adapter is made with a male 3-Pin(705-286) connector, a 4-Pin(E0-971-934) connector and 3 20AMG wires. Both connectors are commonly found on European cars.
