Just going to collect some mcs bumpers to fit to my cooper, i know that they will go on but, im sure ive read b4 that they need different brackets to fit, was i dreaming this or not. Have a good new year u all

no they dont need new brackets at all. 2 things though are that you have to move the front fog lights slightly to the right position as they are too high/low for the S bumper but i am sure you see how to do this and 2nd thing is you will have to use the cooper lower trim from the back bumper on the S bumper if you still have a cooper o/s exit exhaust

it is real simple, but as stated before all the rear trim (sides and lower valance) need to be switched to the new "s" bumper. The trim comes off by pushing on the backside tabs, whilst pulling gently on the trim. Be careful though, the plastic can rip! just take your time and it will come out great.

cheers, jason

See my pics for what it can look like!! looks great!
