Do you have it in writing or on the order? I always put "no dealer decals, stickers etc on the car" on the order for the car. No doubt about it that way. If you take the car with the bracket, maybe some plugs from Home Depot or somewhere would make it look better and fill the holes. Sorry about the problem you are having.

They should replace the entire bumper and send me your CR bumper at a really good price
Seriously though, I wouldnt buy a brand new car and accept some patch job from the dealer. Months from now you may regret it and you wont be able to insist on a full replacement

My MCS came with a dealer installed front plate bracket. I removed it and bought plugs from a company called BumperPlugs. They matched my paint exactly and do a nice job of covering up the holes. Worked out as a good solution for me. All I can say is Eric (the guy at BumperPlugs) does good work!

Hey guys. well I was gonna do the bumper plugs but the new plate bracket has 4 Holes!! Not 2. I think it would look stupid with 4 plugs.. they did say i can get the front driving lights for Free and installed for free if i take it this way.. or they fix my bumper, they said it would be perfect! then i buy the lights but the install is free.. I would totally do the euro plate, But not sure if the holes are the same.. decisions decisions..

The two "solutions" offered aren't acceptable, IMHO.
If you :::REALLY::: wanted driving lights, surely you would've ordered them with the car, yes?
I'd ask about having the front bumper replaced.
They goofed.
They KNOW they goofed.
What they're offering as a fix is just a way for them to save money.
Besides, OEM Driving Lights on a sharp-looking MINI like yours wouldn't look "right". I can EASILY envision the larger, aftermarket lights on the lower front bumper...

After my 03/15/08 sneezing accident, I upgraded to the JCW Leather steering wheel...it is AWESOME!

Ha, ha...no, not allergic to the Alcantara...I prefer leather vs. suede, though.
The "sneezing accident" came about due to a multiple-sneeze fit where I accelerated during the sneezing and missed a 90-degree blind right-hand turn and ended up replowing a farmer's field.
There's a thread on it somewhere here on NAM, including pics of all the gory details.
