Non PDC to PDC rear bumper?

Hello all, I'm looking into getting a new rear bumper cover.. mine is cracked. It has the PDC and rear fog lights so I was wondering if I just buy the bumper without the trim can I use the trim pieces and moldings on my current bumper? Thanks!!

It's easier to just to get the PDC function. I would not try to mock it up. The bumper has cut outs and a mount backing to hold the PDC. Yep Parking distance control. What bumper do you have? Cooper, cooper s, JCW and what year?

Cooper s 2009 chilli red. Isn't the PDC in the black plastic moldings? If so they can come off right?

On thats model 2009 MINI Cooper S hardtop the with that stock bumper the PDC is in the lower trim, on the JCW it's in the bumper and the side grilles. 51122752541 But as you can see in the pics the trim has mounts built in on the back side and the PDC sensor have to be lined up to work right. Click on our link to see more pics on the product page.

Yes, you should be able to easily swap your black trim with sensors from your old bumper cover to the new bumper cover (assuming non-JCW bumper).
