i want to put the lower black plastic peice on my cooper s so my exhaust exits out the side instead of the middle! i have a couple of cool ideas floating around in my head and think it would look better than all the middle exit one's(my opinion). Where can i buy that peice? thanks guys!

 

come on im sure somebody knows something

 

which year is the cooper valence? The non-04-05 cooper design will fit perfectly....

 

Did you mean non-05/06 (i.e. 02-04) Cooper?

pastadog, you can order parts from your dealer or mail order from Classic MINI.
The part numbers are here: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts...84&hg=51&fg=15
I'm not sure but you may also need the side black pieces to match up with the bottom.

 

oopps....yah thats what i meant

 

ive done it before, im going to be doing it again here soon.

heres a picture of my Cooper with an S bumper on it.



and a pic of the valance i made for my S

 

Any idea about the price of the plastic molding for that ?

(I mean the black palstic molding at the lower part of the bumper?)

 

this is strictly from memory but i think its like 15-20.......dont kill me if im wrong

 

Really?? 15-30$ is really cheap!

Thanks for the input

 

where can i buy that piece?

 

Go to your MINI dealer's parts department.

 

you need both the center piece AND both corners.

the shape of the S rear valance is completely differetny, so the S corner pieces will not fit with a cooper valance.

 

Hey Rick, I recently picked up an Indi Blue MCS bumper for my Cooper. This rear valence thing-- I don't understand--I know it's got the cutout for the Cooper, so is this thing removable from my old '03 Cooper bumper? Can I just take it off and stick it on the '03 MCS bumper? Will it fit? Or is there such a thing as a side exhaust valence for the MCS?

Just swap out the plastic. All of your MC plastic should fit on the S bumper. A minor change, such as removing a tab or two from one of the plastic pieces may be neccesary, but I dont think you need to.

Just make sure all the plastic is snapped in all the way and your good to go!
