It's a Cooper Aero kit rear bumper modified for the 2nd tip. Exhaust is custom built RMW.

Looks good but, my favorite part of the Mini is the center, duel exhaust, so its not for me.

The black trim on the bottom of the regular bumper is held on with clips. The Blue Flame (minisport) exhaust comes with a new trim piece that already has the cutouts for the two exhaust tips... Just switch the two pieces and you're good to go

+1, it's looks cool and all, but that is what is unique about the Mini, the dual center exhaust. Everything from Nissan Altimas to Honda Accords now have the dual split exhaust. But to each is own .

turbomini is right the exhaust comes with a clip on valence that replaces the oem piece. So you're not forced to a modified aero bumper, you can keep your existing one. Here's an old picture of that



I dont like center exhausts on any vehicle not just mini's. I always preferred dual. Changing the mini exhaust to dual is not about distinguishing the mini from other vehicles (it doesn't need to) but it certainly distinguishes it from other mini's.

valance

Does anyone know if you can buy just the dual trim piece. I looked on the minisport website and didn't find your exhaust. That doesn't mean it's not there. I just couldn't find it.

Thanks

minisport still shows the exhaust http://www.minisport.com/newmini/aca...NMPEXH100.html.

What I did 4 years ago was then send them an email asking for their US distributors.

Note that the PU valence is for round exhaust tips not oval.

gnaster, do you have any shots with the new tips from farther back? I'm pretty sure I <3 you're set up. Just need to see how it looks on the ground from farther back.

Thanks!
