I rear-ended a CRV with my '05 S the other day. Bad way to start a story, worse way to start a weekend. I glanced away for a split second then was attacked by brake lights at 5mph. So I'm on the hunt for a new bonnet and front bumper, annnnd assorted other clip like things that got destroyed. But I'm having a hard time figuring out wether the bumper I buy needs to be 05 S specific or if I can fit a bumper from any post 2000 mini.

Could anyone offer some insight?
Thanks

 

Same bumper cover 2003-2006. I believe 2002 had minor differences though.

 

You might find this url interesting.

 

We fitted the aero-kit front bumper cover for a '03-06 Coupe onto our '07 Cooper 'vert... so my guess it yes. You may have to adjust the mounting of the fog lights, but otherwise, there should be no problems.

 

awesome, that's great news since that widens my eBay options quite a bit. I'm having a hard time tracking down an S hood on eBay though, with the scoop, anyone know of another possible source?

 

allow me to rephrase that...I've been having a hard time finding a hood for a price that didn't blow my mind. That realoem link has proven invaluable so far though.
