Hello,
I need help!!! New to Mini Coopers. Just bought an 06 S. It has some broken plastic behind the front bumper. There appears to be a plastic cross member or cradle of some sort that is below the A?C condenser and goes up both sides by the radiator. This is broken in half at the bottom in the center. What is this piece called and are there any used ones out there or is the Mini dealer the best bet? Oops, almost forgot, drivers side plastic piece that is directly in front of wheel, lower light mounts in it. It is broken also. Help!!
Thanks

 

You need to look at this to determine the parts you need.

I just watched this piece get replaced last weekend. It goes behind the radiator and holds the lower lights in place, too. It's a big piece of plastic, and the radiator has to be taken out to get at it.

On RealOEM, it's under Bodywork - Front Body - 05: Front Panel.
Part #51 64 7 147 106
