DIY (JCW) stabiliser / sway bar / roll bar at One

Hello other MINI (One) drivers!

I want to install a stabiliser (swaybar/rollbar) on my MINI One. Now there is a little problem:
My MINI has not fitting holes to install the stabiliser clasps. This problem is also with Coopers withtout sportsuspension.

MINI's with sportsuspension (plus) have already the fitting holes as you can see at the foto's.

My question is: how to install swaybars at an One? I've understand that its possible to install a JCW sport suspension kit with stabiliser bar. How does the dealer install this stabiliser?

Is there someone with foto's too of a swaybar installed at a MINI One or Cooper?


In advance thanks!

It could be done. Unless someone else knows something the only way would be to drop the subassembly and build in the proper locators and fasteners.
