Is this possible or just something that is unreachable? The exhaust is no problem. Also how much would I be looking to spend on one from the forums. Lastly if you have you and might be willing to sell in a few months PM me.

 

An MCS rear bumper is very feasible on an MC. You don't even have to get a new exhaust. You just need to swap the rear valances from one to the other. I would think you could get a bumper for about $150 to $200, maybe even a little less. I was going to do this until I found an aero rear for my MC. Good Luck.

 

ive got an r53 rear on my r50

it is very easy to do. Just swap bumpers and valances (although the valances and side tim don't fit perfect).

I have swapped my r53 bumpers for a set of r50's on both mini's i have owned. I prefer the eary 2002 to 2004 r50 bumpers.







and the 2002 that I owned:

Bringing this one back to life for a few questions. Will the R50 valence fit on the R53 bumper or will you have to change both? I like the R53 bumper but would like to do the single side exhaust without cutting the car up. Any input? Thanks in advance!!

 

Nevermind... answering my own question. I found a thread finally. https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...e+side+exhaust

 

So is it true i would need just the cover and the trim would swap over? I think i read that it had to be a 02-04 MCS bumper and 02-04 R50 trim not a 05 plus cause something about the trim is different on the facelift R50.

 

That's right. They changed the trim on the 05. Should swap over otherwise.

 

A couple years ago I bought front and rear bumpers from an '05 MC. Front bumper went on no problem. I got bored today and looked at the rear bumper (see photo). I am not able to put the '05 MC rear bumper on my '06 MCS because the trim piece curves up in the middle, correct?

Has there ever been a trim piece like this with the exhaust in the center?

Sorry to revive the thread, but I wanted to make sure before I get rid of the bumper. Thanks!
