i just bought an 05 cooper & as all beginners, i don't know heck about the car, i need a front bumper for mine & realise that just at the dealer, i have a choice of about 7 different front bumpers... when i ask the parts guy if i could see the model to make my choice, he told me he had no picture of them, and direct me to miniusa.com, but being an new model for 07, i still havent even figure which one mine is.... done a search on the forum to find out but finnaly end up in the gallery section, seen all those cool rides but still have no clue which one is what....can you guys help me here?

i've stolen a couple of pictures of the people here: what are they?

#1 and #4 are the factory aero kit, #2 is the stock S bumper, #3 looks like the Hamann kit I may be wrong on that one.

 

Also, #3 has the stock side skirts and #2 has the Aero side skirts.

I think that is correct on #3 being the Hamann kit.

 

Yup.

1. Factory Aero
2. Stock MCS front bumper, Aero Skirts
3. Hamann front, stock sides
4. Factory Aero

i don't think there is more than two choices (stock or aero) unless you go after market. tell him what year car you have and the build date and he should be able to limit the choices to the two you already have pictures of.

 

ok, thanks,
so i have a choice of:

1 :mc
2: mcs
3: aero kit

thats right?

 

No, it depends on the car. While the MC rear bumper will fit an MCS I believe, the exhaust port is different, which will require you to get a stock MC exhaust, or a one-sided aftermarket exhaust.

There's also several aftermarket companies producing body kits.

Are these all of the bumper styles? Because mine doesn't have any of these, its more of a cross between 2 and 3.

 

02-04 MCS grilles have a small detail in the chrome, while the 05+ do not,

for the MC, any 05+ has a new style bumper...

 

Ok, yeh, mine's an 05.

 

aero kit is still the best

 

i think too...

i like the orciari a lot, but i'm concern bout the material used we do have a lot of snow here & i would hate to break it, i'm no mini specialist,


is that kit tought??

thanks guys...

 

aero kits are on sale now from any mini dealer for $1000.00 painted in a few colors and 750 not paints w/parking distance. I just ordered on i dont have parking distance i will just fill in the holes.

 

must had an ultradeal, cause the dealer offered me the aero kit at 450..... but be a mistake
