Default Mcs pdc

I acquired a MCS rear bumper that was fitted with PDC. The problem being that the seller took back his sensors and now I'm left with a bumper with 4 holes in it.

One solution would be to purchase the Mini PDC but I'm not interested.

Can one advise me how to do in order to fill in these holes? Purchase sensors I won’t connect?

Thanks

I'd recommend giving Robin of RJM a call on 01284 702224. He may be able to help you out...

Considering hgsbnt is in Brussels, I think Bury St Edmunds is a long way to have a bumper smoothed!

Try finding a local body shop who will fill the holes, smooth it over and paint. Otherwise, you can get the sensors from the dealer and just clip them in - which is fairly cheap as far as I remember.

I called a body shop and he did not advise me to have the holes filled. It won't last over the years and it will require the bumper to be painted again which might end up being quite expensive.

I'll try to find sensors no more.

Good point!

Little bit of a trek to get the holes filled!

any one can comment on the JCW grill on the front bumper? Second hand R53 bumper I bought had such front grill but it's too damaged and I'd like to use my stock grill of my R50 bumper?

How difficult (or easy) is it to remove it and fit it on the R53 bumper?

Thanks

Easy peasy! I have replaced top and middle grill on my front bumper. It should fit exactly the same, there are fitting guides (I think) on MINI2. Give me a shout if you need any pointers...
