Greetings!

Hello everyone. Just joining as I purchased my "new to me" 2010 Cooper hatchback. Was wondering if there is a hardtop bumper step cover to be had for the R56? I see them available for earlier years, but only a "foil" cover for the R56. I saw a post somewhere that said the step cover off a Toyota Matrix fits perfect.....


Is the rear bumper on the 2009s the same as a 2010?

What about the link in the first post? Would that fit a '10 if it fits an '09?

Hmmm...this one from BavAuto:



is labeled RBP102. I have one. It's a hard molded plastic bumper cover, attaches underneath the hatch lid via reusing two existing trim screws, and of course some double-sided tape along the bumper surface. I preferred it to the MINI-accessories one since it covers more area and is screw-attached.

I like the one in the ebay link. Is the bodystyle from '06-'09 the same as the '10?

The company confirmed that this one will fit, the reason they list it only up to 2009 is that some of the European models differ from 09-10.
