First MINI, need new bumpers
Hi all! Am a new and proud mini owner! I recently picked up my new 2015 F55 MINI S Hardtop 4 door in moonwalk gray, coming in at just under 20k miles. I found it a state over but at a great price. My MINI is in great overall shape, spare the plastic front/rear bumpers. Front (below intercooler) looks like it has rubbed up on some curbs and the rear (below hatch, above exhaust) looks like it may have been in a minor rear end collision.
I plan on slowly upgrading the car with performance and visual parts. I already got bimmercode and an ECU reader to customize the electronics. I love working on cars and I can't wait to learn the in's and out's of my MINI.
On that note, what is the best route on getting new bumpers? Replacing the current ones would make the car look like it just pulled off the lot in 2015. In a quick search online, I could only find primed bumpers and not pre-painted as I had hoped. I would think there is a cheaper option than heading to the closest MINI dealer... Are there any visual kits that include new bumpers?
I am excited to join the forum and be zipping around in my MINI!

Hello and wlelcom.e. You can PM pics and i can send you the part numbers. No prepainted unless their from a salvage yard which they will be beat up anyway. Aftermarket/Performance options are the best if you are looking for a visual difference.
