There’s no video as detailed like this on RUclips so massive kudos to you! I’m in the process of upgrading the front and rear bumper of a Mini electric to the Cooper Sport/JCW. After months of searching, there’s no video or even a Mini electric that has upgraded to these bumpers so mine will be a first. Excited is an understatement. Thank you for investing the time into making this helpful video. Just subscribed :)
Thanks so much and thanks a million for watching!!! Good luck in your MINI search and modding! If you have any questions or even any pictures, I would love to see them!
Curios whether this came with instructions? While Aaron at OutMotoring is great about answering phone and text messages about installation, being a woman, I like having actual instructions. Haven't seen vids from you guys for awhile and wondered if the car ended up being too much squeeze for the juice!
It did not come with instructions. Hopefully this video will help folks, but if you want paper ones I don’t believe he has that. Yeah I was stuck in Ontario due to family and other issues all Sumer so I didn’t have access to my cars! 😢
Love the upgrade, but just curious on what happens with the fog lights and day time running lights? Would I also need to change the headlights for this to work?
Thank you!! I am coding out those although I have not done that yet. You would not have to replace the headlights although I will to complete the face lift look.
I have the first gen cooper SE, I’m also interested on this, mine also has fog lights that also work as side lights when you turn the car, I was looking at new resolute front bumper or jcw but they don’t have fog lights, new ones are inserted on headlights. I wonder if the car will show errors on the console for disconnecting those. The other option is to use the old jcw front bumper becouse I saw some cars with that bumper and with fog lights fitted there. What would you recommend? Thanks
Thanks! We were able to code them out, then we will be coding in the way they do fog lights in the lci2 cars which is basically turning on the turning lights when they are pointing ahead.
@@carcreationsytmy s from 2017 has fog lights, if i install this bumper i will delete them right? Btw, do i need new wheel arches, windshield water bottle and air intake?
Thank you for these videos on your 17 F55 S! I have an 18 F55 S with the JCW tuner kit! I know S bumpers have different air inlets than JCW, do these line up? Seeing you retrofit LCI-2 on pre-LCI F series is extremely helpful for future opportunities. Keep it up!
Thanks for watching! I added the new ones when I bought the kit, where the intake connects to the wheel well, its a little different, but if you drill the screw holes, its fine. If you have any questions, please let me know!
My OCD hit high levels when you were putting the bumper together. Please put an old blanket or something on top of that black table when you are doing things like this!!
Hello, thanks for watching the videos!! They vary between models so its hard to pin down a list, your best bet is to reach out to outmotoring.com or find their information email and he should be able to get you everything you need.

I am diving into things a bit more now so I know what you mean , every now and then I drop into the mini plant in Oxford, UK 🇬🇧 I drive a transporter so I pick 11 exports up and drop them off in one of the ports to be shipped out
Can you tell me what is the reference for the red trim on the grill? I want to change the black one that I have in my Cooper S for the red one. thanks for your videos
Great job, I’m impressed, congrats! You are my inspiration, I have also rebuilt my F57 to LCI2. I have one question- where should I put the temperature sensor? Do you have any advice please? thank you!
Thanks so much! That is so cool! It’s funny as I am have issues with my temperature sensor. It connects to the bumper on the right side I believe, but I just have it taped there currently as I can’t get it to work properly. Says there is a short but I can’t find where! Does yours work?
Amazing bro the car looks crazy and love it. I'm driving a 2016 F55 four-door is it possible for me to change the front & rear bumpers to the 2022 model? and I was checking the website you mentioned and I cant find the part there. Can you please help me?
Hello, thanks for watching! It is definitely possible. As they are not high volume parts, they may be hard to find on the site, I would recommend reaching out to the email address listed on the site and asking for help. If you have issues send me a dm on instagram or an email and I will try to help you out!
Can you fit the lc12 3 door bumpers onto the 5 doors without issues? Or do you need the 5 door versions? Looking at getting a SD 2015 5door as a project. Cheers
The front bumpers fit fine however you need to get the 5 door f55 rear bumpers. If you get a 5 door cooper (non s) and want to do the conversion I actually have an f55 rear jcw diffuser with the single exhaust output that I could sell for cheap. They are super hard to get.
Thanks for watching! It is for the most part, however there are some small things like fog lights that you have to code out or just place the bulbs somewhere.

Hello, good thanks! I have seen the sport bumper (jcw bumper on the non jcw mini) and it normally comes in black from what I can tell. The only way to get that part I number though is to find a car like that, get the vin, and look up the vin. Hope that helps!

@@carcreationsyt my bad lol! I’ve just finished doing this swap with mine! Really changes the look, mine was a 14 plate so really modernised it haha 😎🙏🏻
In the new minis the driving lights are located in the headlights so there are no places in the bumper to hold them. You may be able to fabricate something. I had to code mine out

Owner of a 2017 Moonwalk Grey F55… fun to watch this…
Thats awesome!! Glad you enjoy the series!
Thank you so much to share your journey with us! Absolutely in love with your works! Keep it up mate!
Thank you for the encouragement!! Will do!!
Been waiting for someone to do this! 🙌🏻 I have a 2018 Cooper S f55. Hope I can do the same.
Hope you found it helpful! Yes it would be the same!
Would go for the ‘new type’ mini badges in black on this one. Bumper looks awesome!
Yeah, I will be installing those!
Thank you!!
Well done 🎉🤘

@@carcreationsyt thanks a lot!
gorgeous
Thank you!!
What about the fog lights?!? Is there a part list of all the parts that are needed?
I coded them out. As for parts list, outmotoring sells most of the kit. Other than that I had to get wheel fender liners and windshield washer bottle.
You also need to change the washer bottle and upper radiator air duct support to make it fit on a non lci car
Correct, we did that in an earlier video

would this work with the 2015 Cooper s 2 door?
It sure would!!

is it possible to install a front lip under the bumper?
Yes it is! DualAG does one I think and there are some others online that look really nice
I have a mini Cooper SE 2020 … the front bumper 2022 fits in my car ? It’s just plug and play? And the hood is the same or I have to change it ?
Yeah for sure!
It is plug and play although you need a new windshield washer tank and also code out the fog lights if you have them.
Ah ok … and the hood still the same ?
@@ricardoseixal5379 yep!
Can you still fit driving lights with the new bumper?

How much roughly does it cost to replace?
Approx 2k
Why is there such a big gap between the bumper and the hood?
@@paulcarranza8210 The car was a rebuild and had not replaced the bent hood yet.
Later once we installed a new hood the gaps were gone.

Thanks. Good to know. I just purchased a front and back bumpers for my Mini and was concerned it would not fit.
Thanks for the awesome guidance.
Are the square vents functional or can I use them to install some fog lights?
Does it really fit without any space
Yeah! The only space there is from the hood not pushed down as it’s bent.
@@carcreationsyt Okay thank you for the reply. Did you have to change anything else to fit this bumper.

Thanks for tuning in!!
Thank you, we love it too!!
That’s a good idea!!
Why do these gaps are so thick?
It was a crashed rebuild project and we had not fixed the hood yet so it’s bent open
Not a fan of that new bumper, same bruta-look as the ugly BMW fronts these days…
Fair enough, yeah I really didnt like it at first but it grew on me
