Err, do you mean the hyper sport bumper? If so, then:

Stock bumper:


JCW Aero kit bumper from the same perspective for comparison's sake:


Edit: If you're looking for a pic of an '07 MCS with a Cooper bumper then I can't help :(

^^^^ nice
couple of questions for you. JCW lower bumper comes painted or unpainted? Is the black spoiler/moulding included? Do the parking/fog lights transfer over? The upper grille, is that the stock "mesh" or jcw version? Thanks.

It comes primed but not painted. All accompanying plastic pieces are included. The fog lights do transfer over, its a really simple switch. The grill came as part of the package for the JCW kit

Cheers!

Did you do it yourself? That looks cool! And That's what I am planning to do! I mean I will pay a bodyshop to paint it but will do the installation at home. Were you able to use the old clips and screws or did you have to buy them all new?

What did you do with the old bumper?

Thats exactly what I did, I had it shot professionally and installed it myself. The kit came with all the pieces I needed to install it. It wasn't the easiest mod I've ever done, but it was pretty straightforward and easy to reverse engineer to figure out how to remove the old bumper. As far as a front plate goes, I'll probably buy a no-holes license plate holder if I have to, but for now I'm just going to leave it as is.

The stock bumpers will be up for sale soon, hopefully someone with a Cooper will want to buy them.
