Introduction! And help tracking down a part?
Hello all! I've been lurking around for last year or so and I've finally decided to post! Mainly because I need help finding a part; I don't want to grab the wrong piece and have it not fit, lol.
A little about myself; I'm 21, and I live in NW Oklahoma City. My dad had an 04 S, and he let me drive it once. Immediately, I was sold and I made it a goal to own one someday. And now I do! There's simply nothing that comes close to the experience.
Anyway, here is my '07 MCS, 56K miles at the time of purchase(Probably about 70k now, lol). This was taken after a nice wash about a week after I took her home. Beauty, eh? I even got a fresh turbo out the deal!

I moved to Colorado for six months, and I just moved back here last Monday. I left my Mini in the care of my mother while I was gone and she took over the payments while I took care of maintenence and other fees.
Unfortunately, disaster struck while I was away. She was driving to work after one of our particularly nasty ice storms(As I'm sure many of my fellow Oklahomans are aware of), and they don't do a very good job of clearing the parking lots at her workplace. She was parking the car, hit a patch of ice as she did so, and slid into the curb. The car itself is okay, but the impact knocked the bumper trim right off.

I told her I'd pay for a replacement, but like I said, I wanted to make sure I got the right piece and hopefully the best deal, so any help would be greatly appreciated! I love my Mini to pieces and I want to make sure she's always looking her best!

Hello, I can help. It looks like a bunch of damage on the bottom side, you might want to use the diagrams and make a list of parts I cannot see what is broken / missing be hind the bumper and lower section.

51112754003 is the whole bumper skin primed and ready to paint. It has the lower jaw molded plastic. I would also check all the clip and hardware as the lower section seems to be gone.

Welcome. Inspect the bumper and see what other items you can see.
