'08 Clubman S back bumper on a 07 MCS? Do-able?

I went and saw the new Clubman at Checkered Flag Mini a couple of weeks ago and I really like the look of the dual exhaust pipes out at the edges. Does anyone have any intel on whether that would be a direct swap to a R56 S? Inquiring minds want to know!

It goes without saying that some exhaust fabrication would be in order. I just want to know if it will fit and line up properly with the side panels on a R56 S. Thanks!


Jeff

well on the clubman the license plate is mounted on the bumper and on the r56 its mounted the hatch. so you would nee to smooth out one or the other. also all the clubman bumpers are two tone so it would have to be repainted.

I wonder if it would be easier to modify a Cooper rear valence if you want the dual exhaust look.
