If mine is ever upside down in a ditch, you'd be able to recognize the offset stripes..

searched on google images - found a number of useful views there. Not sure what you are looking for. There is plastic up front, and then there's a subframe, behind that a fan. One wheel on each side

Not sure if this will help.....

 

I love Dragon rookie photos like the one above.

 

The only good thing was there were no injuries. Lucky folks for sure. Low skill & over confidence = a totaled MINI.

 

Here is 2 both have the under tray up front removed to see what is really there.

 

Why not just put your own car on a lift and take its pic from the underside? Then, you'll have a pretty good idea of what you can or cannot do.

 

As you well know, Teddy...we are here to help!

 

First image above isn't an R53, or it has been massively modified (4WD...). The second one just hurts my head!

 

Teddy,

Post of pictures of what the part looks like.
