I need a new bumper for the Mrs MINI. Found this which appears ideal

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/MINI-COOPER-ONE-REAR-BUMPER-...

and it's to go on this car



I'm not enough of a MINi buff to know all the ins and outs, but the bumper is off a 2003 model, the Mrs' car is a 52 plate and I've only ever seen one dark blue shade.

The only other option is to get a £100 bumper and then have it sprayed, this has to be worth a shot right?

will fit, looks to be a close shade, there will be a small difference but you may not see it. All bumpers from 2000 - 2006 will fit your car

Awesome. I've been so close to purchasing a brand new, primered one for the same money, but can't really be bothered to paint it. So well happy to find the right one ready painted. Just hope the stripes are vinyl and not paint!

If its any help Ive got a bumper i took off my old cooper - no stripes and has the chrome trim and the right colour. This was a good few years ago but was in good condition when i took it off to replace with an 'aero' bumper.

If it helps, you'll get £100 for it on eBay!
