Instructions for Removing the Front Bumper

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

Open the front bonnet and unscrew the Torx screws that secure the bumper to the front crossmember; additional screws are located along the lower edge; another pin is located beneath the wheel arch (one for each side), and to unscrew it, you will need a long T or socket wrench. Then, pull the bumper away from its position and disconnect the power connectors for the fog lights, indicators, and temperature sensor. Before refitting the bumper, you can adjust the support brackets that have a central slot with a spring that allows you to set the position of the bumper relative to the bonnet.
