Cooper S - "Chrome" brake ducts cracked

me5537 · Sep 13, 2015

Hello everyone,

I am after some help. The right hand "chrome" (i.e. silver plastic really) brake duct cover has been smashed - presumably by a stone. They are for a F56 Cooper S. Two questions:

1. does anyone know where I can buy a replacement (don't really mind if they are black ones instead)?
2. are they easy to fit/ replace?

Thanks so much in advance!

Did a quick google search and found them available at minimania and outmotoring. Seems fairly straight forward to replace.

They are really easy to remove (just pull them carefully) and to put them back on (just snap them into place), I removed mine twice already when I was painting them with plastidip.

Try a MINI dealer for replacement parts, or even one selling on EBay. The aftermarket sellers may be more expensive than the official suppliers.
