(HELP) 05 Cooper Rear Bumper Conversion with S Bumper

I've got a 2005 cooper rear bumper. Can I switch the trim on of that bumper to a cooper S bumper?

No, the trim that goes around the painted part of the bumper which sits above the muffler. I'd like to switch that trimming out with a CooperS trim. Is that possible?

no, there are a few things you need here.....

get any year MCS bumper.

you need the lower spoiler from a 2003 MC

you need the corners off a 02-04 MC

the corners need a bit of force and some trimming to fit, but when it gets fit, it all slips right up like it should!

heres a pic of mine!

Thanks RedNWhiteCooper, I was looking towards the 2005 Cooper bumper but after taking a closer look at the inside, I now see the cut difference in the bumpers so it's not possible.

O well, i'll have to stick with my 02.

SWEET MINI!

i recently did a exhaust change on my MCS where the exhaust is on the right side just like a MC. we have ordered the lower bumper valance piece but it wont seem to fit. was just wondering if we would have to change the corner pieces as well
