Mini JCW R56 rear bumper

Just to check with you before buying!

I have a Mini Cooper base R56 2010 and I have the opportunity to buy an used JCW bumper. The bumper was installed in a Mini JCW R56 LCI 2012.

When I'm checking at RealOEM website with my VIN, I can see the JCW kit but below says "No parts found matching your car" and there is not any P/N to check.

Could it be just because of the electrical connections (2 rear gog lights) and the exhaust pipes (2 pipes on the center)?
Or this bumper will not fit my Mini (holes, screws, etc)?

If just the electrical connection and the exhaust, I have no problems since I can easily change that in an independent workshop

It should fit, the front bumper change a little, and the under structure of the metal crush bracket changed. The rear had a change in the bracket also for the LCI models, but i have seen them fit. Th rear brake lights on the US rear bumper no matter Pre or post LCI with the JCW bumper is one back up light and one fog light. The Pre LCI had the center and so did the post LCI stock bumper. The big difference is the rear back up center light. As the pre was in the tailights and the post was cneter in the bumper, so you will have to tap into that rear back up on the Cooper JCW bumper.

I have the rear valance you need for the Justa exhaust. I bought a complete JCW aero kit for a justa from ECS this summer and I'm going with the GP2 diffuser. Still new in the box yet. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...r/51120404116/

Thank you for the offer but I have a modified justa with dual exhaust.
Surely I will be moving to the dual center exhaust (and using the original center balance).

Thank you again!
