S Bumper on an 05 Cooper

has anyone put an S bumper on a regular cooper yet? it look like i'm gonna have to reposition the fog light mounts to make it fit right. if anyone had done this, drop me a line.

Yes it can be done, but you have to rearrange the foglights. GL

Yes they do have the template for you, but not drilled yet. All you need is to make holes at those spots. If you could wait, I'll have a writeup with pics by the end of the week.

havent you ever seen a digital camera that takes a 1.44mb floppy disk? like th kind that you put in a floppy drive on a computer? i dont like this new technology, its too expensive. i got my camera from my dad for free, so ive always used it. plus it seems to be easier that d/l stuff off the camera. i just go into my computer/ floppy drive/picture # and get the picture.

i dont know how old of technologyit is, but ive always used it

my camera is a Sony MVC-FD51 Digital Still Camera

I know what you are talking about, many many years ago they came out with that, but i guess it's not enough space to meet consumer's demand. I bought a 1GB memory flash several months ago for $10 after rebate online.

i just find it more convinient, i'm not sure why. i think its just because its all ive ever used. but, it doesnt take great pics, it doesnt even have a zoom, but this mavica has some sentimental value to me - my first REAL camera.

that turned out great! are you gonna post the front and rear DIY at the same time? do you have the template for the fog lights up front? any thing were gonna run into when we do the conversion?


thanks man,
Rick aka RednWhite

Yes I'll post both at once. You'll see the mark on it, but I took some pics just in case.
