The first car is a 2004 Mini Cooper S with 100,000 miles. It was hit in the rear passenger quarter. Runs and drives. The airbags deployed on the passenger side only. The front passenger airbag in the dash did not go off. The car was like new until the accident. Interior is still like new with a 2 tone black and tan interior. Very well optioned. Leather, heated Seats, Pano Roof, Auto Climate control, rain sensing wipers, Premium Package and Cold Weather package. I still have the original window sticker with a $23,499 MSRP. Sold New at Tate Mini in Annapolis Maryland. Second car is a 2005 Mini Cooper S John Cooper Works It was involved in a front end collision. Everything from the doors back is in excellent condition. Windshield is broken. Body is straight down the sides. The hatch is like new. The engine, transmission, exhaust and interior have all been removed from this car. None of the airbags went off in this car. The white car will need the door, rear bumper, rear 1/4 and taillight from the JCW. The airbags are good in the JCW and you can swap them into the white car. Rear wheel on the white car where it was hit has a negative camber issue. Not sure if the wheel is bent. Both car has the same wheels so you can pick the 4 best. Here are the pictures. Cars are in Palmyra, Pa. $4500 obo for the pair. Contact [email protected]
Then, I might be interested in getting the front bumper of the Pepper White '04 MCS, if "dporschey" wanted to sell it.
Being they have not been on the site since 06-10-2013 03:37 PM I would PM my interest as it will generate an email to them.
My wife's MCS has the aero kit. A former owner and she have pretty much rendered it wobbly, and MINI of Dublin, OH [aka MAG], has screwed it onto the frame to keep it from flopping about. So, I'm kind of in the market for a new [or preferably used and in good shape] front bumper, but I do NOT want the aero one, as I just KNOW my wife will run the front end onto those cement parking blocks, again and again. At least the rubber dam under the regular MCS bumper will keep the bumper safe...right?
Not much (if any) difference between the two as to ground clearance. Mine is an EB stock bumper in ok condition. No damage, just the regular rock chips.
True enough about the ground clearance, but that aero bumper does not flex when it hits one of those parking curbs. Instead, it cracks and eventually ends up breaking the whole danged thing. That rubber dam on my MCS at least flexes some to warn me of having gotten too close. The aero bumper just crunches. MINI wants almost $1700 for a new aero bumper. I suppose a new MCS bumper is similar in price, but, dayummmmmmmm. Decisions...decisions...get a new one, a used one or just let my wife demolish the one on the car and then do a replacement at a later time? GAAAAAAAAAA...! :mad2:
It may be easier to teach wife how to park or at least put curb feelers on. :aureola::lol::lol::lol: Thank god my wife can not drive stick so she can not drive my car.
