Does anyone know where I can buy the front bumper only?

 

I dont but want to do the same. The rear bumper does not appeal to me in the least!!

 

Check with your dealer. The parts are availible individually. I want the Side Skirts ONLY, myself & got a price for just them. I would have to assume the front is availible that way as well.

 

Good idea! Thanks!
BTW, how much for the sides only?

 

The side skirts are EXPENSIVE! I don't remember exactly how much, but there was another thread on here about them and I thought they were $700 or $800 unpainted! Sucks too cuz I prefer the stock front and rear bumpers, but REALLY like the JCW side skirts!

 

From memory, they were in the $200 range, unpainted. Don't quote me on that, though.

My aspirations to put together a mix and match body kit (part JCW, part Hamann, part AC Schnitzer) went by the wayside when I committed to the JCW Engine kit a couple months back.

 

You went for the go instead of the show....I can respect that!!!

 

I got a quote from a dealer.... $430 shipped for all the parts of JCW front bumper only. Primed, I think.

$400 for the front...then $200 for the sides and $350 for the rear...$600 for the paint???!!!
I know a guy who does body work for really cheap and he will probably paint and install for about $200.
So my front bumper will go on for $630 total, I am guessing.

 

Is there not a better place to get parts OEM than from the dealer?

 

Do you have a local dealer that will give NAM or Mini Cooper club members a discount? Try asking them. I did and they give me a 20% discount.

 

Does anyone know if there is a difference between the JCW upper grill and stock upper grill?

 

In terms of fitment, there's no difference.

 

I looked for the pictures Online and the JCW grill has fewer number of columns I guess. But yes, I think the fitment is the same because people are just replacing the grill surrounds all the time. Thanks.

 

send an email over to minspeed.net
its about 360 primed...after them painting it 580 (this is for R56)...but dont quote me on the quote haha....i like minspeed they are very nice and i ordered my jcw grill and surrounds from them on my R56 MC

 

$580 is a heck of a deal but how would you ship this bumper...truck freight?

 

That's what adds to it. UPS or DHL can ship It, but it will be around $100 - $150. That's what was quoted to me. That's why I got my bumper from a local dealer who gave me a Mini Car Club discount.

 

MorristownMINI's shipping was only $35.

 

That is ridiculously cheap to ship something that large.

 

Thats about right for commercial FedEx or UPS ground rates for an oversized item that has like no weight. Only costs about $75 to ship a full R53 Aero kit across the US.
