That DOES look fantastic. My center section shipped yesterday. Sides are on backorder from Germany (none in the US). I'm staying with black - but I think this is a fantastic and subtle cosmetic mod.

there is a thread from Partsman that has the part numbers for this and you get them at the MINI dealer.

Interesting. Back when I had the regular S rear bumper, I thought you needed a GP Vin to get that trim. I thought you needed a GP Vin just to get anything GP. I guess not.

Received my side pieces today to go with the middle I already received and installed everything - OMG I love it. Especially on the cabrio. Really completes the rear view. I had no idea how much nicer they really were - they wrap under the corners more and look much more "solid". Pictures don't do this mod justice.
