I bought a Touareg over the weekend and subsequently backed it into my 03 Cooper S. No damage to the Touareg but the trailer hitch dented a piece of chrome/plastic on the MINI bumper. Help in identifying what it is and where I can buy it would be muich appreciated. Trying to avoid dealer pricing.

Thanks

Many thanks!

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Not to sound like an @ss-ho but I did the EXACT same thing with my Touareg. The FIRST time, I back into it and scuffed the rear bumper a tiny bit. The SECOND time, my wife backed into I like 4 times. I run down the stairs to the garage to find her wih this look on her face. She then says, The Touareg is making this crunching sound everytime I back up!" The Mini has a blackened left eye. She owes me a CF hood.

 

You could get these instead... http://www.m7tuning.com/main.m7/store/10012

 

I"ll trump that. My wife and I were both backing out of a long driveway, me in the Touareg (that she did not want) and she in the MINI. She started backing out so I gave her a few seconds and proceeded to back out veeeerrrrry slowly as it was a tight driveway. She stopped to wave goodbye to our son who was being held by the grandparents on the porch...and I did not.

We were on our way to a marriage workshop.

 

How was the workshop that day?

 

If this is the only thing damaged, you get off pretty cheaply here (though I can't actually remember the cost). I second the Classic MINI suggestion - ask for Jayson (440-205-6404) and be sure to mention that you're "PDX Mini" on NAM so you'll get whatever the max discount is that day (usually 20%, sometimes 25%). Just make sure you call it a chrome lower grill trim ring, either that or go to realoem for a part number. Your build date will be important since they changed to a smooth surface some time in '03 or '04.
