I need to order some suspension parts for my 2002 Cooper S and need to determine it's production date.

I have never looked for this before, have no idea where to find it on the car and was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks

 

It should be on the decal/sticker on the driver's door jamb.

Hope this helps...

 

I was going to recommend RealOEM as well. To clarify, type in the last seven digits of your VIN when you search for car parts. Their system is good about knowing when your MINI was built by month/year.
