hi Mini Lovers,

I just had a minor accident and broke my bumper cover on the right side. I don't know whether it's called bumper cover or something else. It's the black plastic layer that goes in between the front body and the wheels. please see the images at this URL (http://www.mypicx.com/12282010/minicooper/).

Can anyone tell me what this part is called and where can I buy it at a low price? Given my limited knowledge about cars, do you think this can be fixed by myself?

Thank you. Please provide detailed information, if possible.

I hope you all drive carefully in the winter time.

 

It's black plastic trim ...
Dealer /Realoem /or penskeparts will have it ...
Go to the dealer to get the part # then use it to find on the other 2 sites
