How to Replace a Front Bumper on Your Car

Model: Mini Mini R55, R57, R56 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Front bumper

First, remove the clips on the top of the plastic grille on the bumper. To detach the bottom of the grille, push down with a screwdriver on the clips from the inside and pull it outwards. Next, unscrew the two side screws under the bumper and remove the three central clips. Then, detach the front wheel arch by removing the three plastic clips. Disconnect the light connectors on the upper edge of the wheel arch, remove the clips to access the side screws, and disconnect the fog light connectors. At this point, you can unscrew the last two screws located in the centre of the bumper, and now you can remove the old bumper and replace it with the new one on your Mini.
