Cabrio underhood fender braces for non-Cabrio...

I saw these fender braces installed on a cooper s (non-cabrio) at MOTD, and wanted to get a set of them to install, for stiffness. The person who had them said it made more of a difference than his strut tower brace. Anyone know the part number and where to get them (other than the dealer )

I had heard about this too.....i would love to hear any info about it

I have a feeling that the best place to get them will be Classic....nothing wrong with getting them from a dealer if its the cheapest option :smile: I havent seen them on any of the aftermarket pages yet, i have been searching

You guys have to get em from the dealer, there cheap though, under $50 I believe.

Anyone that has a 03 or newer MINI will already have the mounting holes in place ready to mount the braces to.

I have a 02 MCS that is not ready to accept the braces unless I drill and bolt them in. Good luck

Need a MCSC VIN to order these Front Braces

Just spoke to Classic Mini parts about ordering these. If you don't have a Convertible VIN he can't order these braces.

Does any MCSC owner want to loan me their VIN #?

you got weaksauced, they could order it if they realy wanted to, I got mine from a buddy that ordered it thru a dealership. I'll talk to him and see what the deal is, maybe he won't mind hooking you guys up with a set.
