non-S to an S body??

Hi, several months ago my mini cooper's (non-s) rear bumper was hit by someone in the parking lot. Now my rear bumper is cracked and I want to replace it with a new bumper. Anyhow, I love the S front and rear bumper style. Can I put in the S front and back bumper to my cooper? Thanks in advanced.

You can swap out the black trim from the bumpers to fix the exhaust cutout problem, or you can switch your exhaust to make it come out the center. I have a MC, and I have the s side skirts on already, and I have the s bumpers and hood in my garage waiting to go on. I also just had a custom exhaust made that comes out the center, since i dont have the bumpers painted yet, i just swaped out the plastic moldings so the cutout would be in the center for my exhaust until i can get the bumpers painted. So you can get the s bumpers cheap off of ebay, and get em painted and put on your car, and you can switch the trim pieces( all three of them ) from your stock bumper and put them on the s bumper when you install them.

Just curious if you had some plans for the hood scoop, like for a CAI.
