Can I fit Cooper S bumpers to my ONE D?

Hi all

Just a quick question regarding Cooper S bumpers, and whether or not they can be fitted to a ONE D. Baisically, I have found these bumpers on E-Bay, in the right colour for my car (astro black)

eBay.co.uk: MINI Cooper S R53 F & R Bumpers Astro Black -NO RESERVE (item 300115695242 end time 06-Jun-07 21:15:13 BST)

What I want to know, is obviously the ONE D's exaust is hidden behind the rear bumper, and the Cooper S has twin central zausts... BUT could I simply remove the bottom of my bumper and clip that onto the S bumpers, to repace the one with the cut out for the exausts.

Which would then in effect 'blank out' the recess for the twin exausts, and keep my exaust hidden? The reason I ask is because it looks to me as if its a seperate piece to the rest of the bumper.

The bit I am refering to is the trim I have tried to highlight here... (excuse the old pic of the car and the crude labeling )



Any help would be appreciated, I dont know if I can get those bumpers on E-Bay right now, as I have just bought a new Laptop for Uni next year, but it would be good to know if this was a feasible mod that I could do...

Regards,

James.
