    I am getting real tired of the amount of potholes that are appearing in what pass for roads in NW Ohio:mad5: I have found yet another piece of stone damage to the front of the M1N1. Something the size of one of Jupiter's moons must have hit the chrome trim/insert in the bumper (the 2 piece just below the bonnet), because there is big ding in one of the pieces.

    I need to replace this, so can anyone help with advice as to where I would get a replacement without having to sell one of my kidneys to pay for it!!!!

    Yes, I could leave it be, because it might happen again. Unfortunately, I am totally anal about all things MINI, just ask my wife, and sons. My youngest boy just shakes his head when I get yet another MINI mag/part/accessory/ collectible:crazy:

    I'd send Steven at eMINIparts.com a pm. I'd also wait for winter to be over before bolting a new piece on.

    Yeah, I'll leave it until spring (if it ever arrives), to fit the new one. Just can't stand having dings in the Coop.

    :cornut: Yup, Steven just sent me my new trim(the exact same as you describe). I also got him to send all of the screws and clips. I can't remember the exact price but it was significantly south of $100. Shoot him a PM and he'll fix you up with 10% off.:Thumbsup:
