I have seen Cooper bumpers without center exit exhaust, now I want...

Is it the only the non "s" base models that have the split bumper with the dual exhaust? I know all clubmans have the style bumper I want, but they're probably not a direct swap?


Were different bumper styles an option or did it change year to year?
I was thinking that all "s" model rear bumpers have center exit exhaust with 2 reflectors on each side and non s has duals with the single reflector in the center right? If I'm correct about this I'll just need to find a non s bumper in my color and it swaps right over right? Mines an 07 mcs.

I want a bumper without the cutout for center exhaust because center exhaust does not work well with towing and side exhaust is incredibly loud. Ultimate goal is to run functional duals with the proper bumper to match. Ill put a post up for trade on a cosmos rear on the marketplace once I figure this out.

Thanks for the responses in advance

 

No one knows the different types of bumpers on these vehicles?? No one knows if these bumpers are interchangeable? Am I the only one that's ever thought of doing this?

The only bumpers I can find other than the center exit style like I currently have is a single exit on the passenger side. Im having a very hard time finding one like this with 2 exhaust cut outs that's why I was hoping to get some help on the forums with this...

 

There was never anything like that from the factory. What you pictured is either aftermarket or custom. It looks like a custom exhaust, and they simply installed a non-S bumper and cut the black plastic trim for the left side exhaust (you can see that the cut doesn't look clean).

If you want a trailer hitch, look at the products from Mini Fini and MiniDoMore.

 

Yipes, I just priced what I'd need from Mini Fini and it's close to $700.

 

MniDoMore's version is about $400, but is only a class I hitch.

 

A class one hitch is all any sane person should consider installing on a Mini. The tongue weight and total load limitations are quite appropriate.

 

700 is waaaay too much for a hitch wow.

I got a torklift hitch because it bolts right up to the exhaust brackets. No cutting no drilling and I think it was around $400. It's the best hitch I could find after doing research and the ease of installation beats out every other design I've seen. It a nice piece fusho.

Let me know if you need a write up for the wiring as the directions my converter came with were useless. I use a modulite. Good luck

As far as the bumper goes is there anyone with a cosmos base bumper that wants to trade?

 

Yes, and I should have mentioned that in my original post. The $700 one says it's a class III hitch, but that doesn't mean you'd actually want to use it as such with a cooper.

 

My torklift hitch was like $250 and I love it! Perfect fit easy install. If i can just keep the mini running....
