I went to have my first glance at the Mini Cooper S today, the front bumber is completely different to that of the One or Cooper...

Does anyone know if the kits available at the moment will be able to fit onto the S?

I have ordered a Hamann kit for my Cooper, but I just love that S...and fate has allowed me my mums S, when her M3 arrives.

I want the Hamman kit on the S.

Any pics please...

The mfe (modular front end) of all MINI's is identical.
An S bumper will fit to a cooper or one.

I believe you saw the Aero Kit that MINI offers as an accessory I think. It has a bit of an E46 M3 bumper in the front and the rear looks similar to the S's bumper but has some mesh detailing in the back. And the side skirts are moulded a bit different with an air intake thing near the rear wheels.

I've got my order in for all of it already.

I know the S bumper will fit a cooper bumper, but I have ordered the Hamann kit for my Cooper, and I am now changing my Cooper to an S. Will my Hamann kit fit the S without any problems?

Yes, pretty sure you'll get no problems.
The only overall obstacle in body kit interchangeability between One,Cooper and S would be the fact that the S has a different exhaust position.

Alex, really looking forward to your MINI pics once you have done the installation. It will look amazing!

alexcroft · Jun 11th, 2002, 04:36 AM

I will post pics as soon as I have em. I going to have my cooper until March, when i can have my S.

It hurt me to cancel the order for my Hamann kit and exhaust, but Autovogue.com are keeping my deposit (for the S)...

...I know it'll be worth it in the end...

.

I have the wheels already, they are da bomb. Pics in my gallery...

.

So all the chrome bits, kit, exhaust has all been cancelled...well put on hold for the cooper S!

Alex.

KarmanS · Jun 11th, 2002, 11:11 AM

Thanks, will look forward to those. The Cooper S is well worth the wait for you. Also, it won't be that difficult of a wait since you have the MINI to drive around until then.

Karman,

Thanks for the support me old mucker...

After driving the S on Monday, it just had to be done! I just thought I gotta get me an S!!

Cheers.

Big up NYC, i love that place.

No it wont fit because the bumper sticks out more on the"S" you will have to get a Cooper front bumper and then place the kit on.

alexcroft · Jun 12th, 2002, 05:19 AM

Twiggy,

Just had a confirmation email from Hamann, the kit for the Cooper will fit straight on the S.

Alex.

I think I'll be ordering my S pretty soon. Gonna go in and find out how much they'll give for my Cooper. I'll probably order BRG for September.
