New first time owner! 2008 Clubman!

Hi all, I just purchased my first Mini, it's a 2008 Clubman. I excited!
Question I need to purchase a new hood and bumper, someone has a 2011 base cooper, does anyone know if the hood and front bumper will work on my car? Please HELP!

There is a post for clubman bumpers in the Gen2 marketplace. I think hood from ECS or Minimanic. Welcome as a new clubbie owner myself! Lots of great info on here.

Post some photos!

If you also have a non S then you can use it. The bumper is a little different but you can make it work.
Shipping those parts is what kills you.

The timing chain probs are mainly on the MINIs with the N14 engine. Your MINI has the N12 engine.

Welcome to NAM! As another option, if needed and you don't want to buy new, try searching on www.car-part.com. It does a local and nation wide search of parts, but if they're local you will save on having to have those items shipped. Good luck! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
