Guys,

Also I was wondering if anyone had experience in removing the front plate of Cooper S (Dealer Front Plate). I removed it but there are 2 holes (from screws) remain obvious. Any suggestion to cover these? My dealer said it's was drilled from the factory.

I have seen plenty that come without the front plates. You should ask the dealer to properly fix the holes for you and subsequently paint over them. There is no way they come pre-drilled from the factory. The factory doesn't drill holes in obvious places... they come up with creative ways to attach the plates so that they can be removed and still look the same.

Hi BMWMAN, I have just ordered a Indi Blue Cooper S, with white roof and white 17 in rims, and also bonnet strips in white, I take delivery in december, just wondering if you could send me a couple of pics of your car, as Im not sure what its going to look like, since yours is very similar.

cheers Andrerolex@paradise.net.nz
