Cooper S rear bumper on One

Hi guys,
can anyone advise me if I can swap the rear bumper on my One for a rear S bumper?

I have a new style MINI (November 9th!) and I understand that since the S exhaust is in the middle I will have to swap the trim over with my One.
Is this still a straight swap, or have there been any changes?

Thanks for your help!!

Any major dude will tell you stroke my hair and call me Maude

You can indeed fit a Cooper S bumper to a One, however you will need the side and bottom plastic trims from a pre-2005MY One or Cooper

My brother's got Cooper S bumpers on his One - I would take a photo for you but it's gone a bit dark

I put MCS front and rear bumper on saturday on a 52 one. Really easy to do.
Plastic trim off pre 2005 goes straight on (although it didnt look like it would) If its the same as pre 2005 Theres a screw under the rear arch trim two plastic screw lock things in the arch liner and a 10mil bolt underneath.

I was going to fit the S exhaust, but havnt had time

Thanks Martin.

nice rear end Serby!!

I'm having to fit a new bumper because of a little accident, and thought S bumpers look cool.

I've only managed to source a rear on ebay, I'm wondering where I'm going to get a front and some pre-2005 black trim from now
or whether it would be easier just to wait for some 2005 front and back One bumpers.

Thanks guys

Rach

Yup, easier one the One D as you've got the correct side/bottom trims as I think all One D's use the pre-05MY style of bumpers anyway, regardless of year?

From what I remember when I did mine if you use the S side sections there is a difference in size with the main black plastic section of a One/Cooper, so where they join theres about 1cm mismatch.

I think its only possible to have all One/Cooper trims or all Cooper S trims on the bumper.
