Question on the rear Aero bumper!

Hey all

Just a quick question...why do some Aero rear bumpers have the exhaust cut in the center and some have the cut off to the passenger side of the bumper?

Center cut kits are for the MINI S with the center dual exhaust, and the Side ( passenger ) Cuts for the MINI ( non-s) with the single side exhaust.

the bumpers are identical except he exaust cut out. The S model will require an additional mounting bracket to stop it from rattling/creaking.
