Can anyone recommend a Mini breaker?

Recommended Posts

Hi all, the car's a 2007 Cooper S and I'm after the o/s/r fog reflector and surround, the usual breakers are struggling, all help appreciated

Main dealers will be best option wont be that much. Breakers will usually sell as part of the bumper and wont remove it if bumper is not broken.

My first port of call for everything (non service related) is the main agents.  Often cheaper, always quicker and always fit as supposed to.

Sage advice as ever, you'd be surprised how many "good used" Mercedes parts I see on EBay that are twice the price of Main Dealer ;)

Case in point, the plastic Boot Loading Trim in my S Class was scuffed a bit and had a small crack from Suit Cases, Boxes of Drugs, Dead Bodies etc being loaded, £50 on EBay with scratches and a chip, £37.80 from MB including a bag of 10 2 piece Plastic Clips for it ;)

Hi Andy, there's a place in Scunthorpe which are a decent bunch, BMS direct. Worth a call or email if dealers are too pricey.

Looks like it is all there to me. The top half is wedged into in front of the light and under the bumper

You can lead a horse to water! ;)
