Hello. I have a 2003 Mini Cooper S. Last week I damaged the left front bumper cover and fog light carrier behind the bumper. Unfortunately the fog light carrier is connected to the radiator carrier. It’s one large piece. It looks like I will need to remove the radiator and air conditioner to get this out.

Has anyone replaced this unit? Any tips? Thanks in advance

I have the Bently 2002- 2004 repair manual. I don't know if this what you are looking for but here is what it says.
Foglight assembly, removing and installing.
1. Remove front wheel and remove front fender ining.
2. Release electrical connector from foglight holder.
3. Turn bulb holder in dircetion of arrow and remove ( looks like counter clockwise.).
4. Remove screws and remove foglight assembly (three screws).
5. istallation is opposite of removal.
I hope that helps.

Hey thanks for the reply Tavis, but it's not the fog light assembly I need to replace. It is the whole carrier unit (which also is connected to the radiator and other fog light).

I just ordered the Bentley book. It should be here next week. Hopefully it will cover this problem.
