Replacing the Front Bumper

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

Using a ratchet spanner, start by removing the screws inside the engine bay. Lift the vehicle and unscrew all the screws; the anchor points are distributed around the bumper, underneath the vehicle, and behind the wing. Now it is possible to gently remove the entire bumper. Start by lifting one corner and then detach all the plastic retaining clips. For fitting the new bumper, proceed in reverse. After positioning the bumper at the front of the vehicle, push firmly on the edges to engage the plastic clips. Refit all the screws.
