Replacement of the front bumper of the Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini R52, R53, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Front bumper

Today we will discover the main steps useful for disassembling and replacing the front bumper of the Mini Cooper. First, we open the hood and start removing the lower plastic cover of the engine, unscrewing all the fastening screws; then we disconnect the turn signal bulbs from the bumper, unscrewing all the other fastening screws located on the top and on both sides of the front wheel arches, as shown in the video. At this point, we gently detach the bumper from the sides, removing it and replacing it with the new one; all that's left is to secure it properly!
