R56 What bumper is this?

What bumper is this?
Greetings all. My girlfriend recently bought her '07 MCS, but isn't much into the forum thing, so I decided to create an account here to hopefully poll some expertise. After only about 2 months of having it, she managed to back into someone (women, amirite? ), and I told her I'd help fix it. It looks to me like it's just the bumper cover, so a simple matter of a swap (and paint if I can't find a chili red unit), but after a few hours of scouring the internet, I can't seem to find a bumper that looks like hers.
TL;DR does anyone know what bumper this is/where it can be found?

Like ra2fanatic said, it's an older aero kit. The only compaies that may have the part are either Sewell parts: http://mini.sewellparts.com/ or ECS tuning: http://www.ecstuning.com/.

Yea, Its the Aero Kit. Sometimes refered to as the sport Aero kit or Factory Aero kit on the Gen 2 MINIs (2007+). They came in PDC and non PDC options. Looks like you don't have the Parking Distance Control sensors on the bumper so you have non PDC version.
You can get the pieces, Its just not a factory option any more.

Not a problem.
You don't have PDC on that bumper So that linked part above is good. I was just explaining all the options and informing people in-case they come by this thread.
But if you did.
They look like little circles with a circular sensor, two in the center of the bumper, they are painted to match, and then little circle sensors in the rear corner vent trim.

The Aero bumpers are available , The JCW Aero Rear bumper could be a possible change.
That's just a MINI generic picture used for parts diagram, sometimes they use the same diagram for different models.
For the Cooper S it comes out the rear center.
Rear JCW Aerodynamic Bumper Panel - W/O PDC
http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/SiteSearch/51120404110/
Then you would need all the lower trim , each side grille , center grille , and the lower diffuser with the center exhaust ridge. You could then upgrade the the JCW GP2 rear diffuser. The GP 2 diffuser takes the location of part #7 but with the center exhuast bump

Great information once again. The only reason to switch to the JCW bumper would be if we managed to find one used for less than the aero unit (or less than the aero unit + paint if we somehow found one in the right color already). So I guess it's just a matter of factoring the extra cost of the diffuser into those calculations.

Yep, You are welcome.
Let me know if you want to go to the JCW bumper new and I can get you the extra parts.
Thanks
