Mini Cooper S (R56) Front End Disassembly -ETCG
There are a lot of repairs on a modern Mini Cooper that may require the removal of the front end of the vehicle. In this video I show you how to remove the front bumper skin and front support on a 2007 Mini Cooper S, to expose the front of the engine.
I performed this procedure because I was removing the engine and transmission. I also think it is beneficial if you want to repair some of the oil leaks on the front of your engine. The N14 in this car had several of these oil leaks.
I’ll be covering the engine removal and the oil leak repairs in other videos within this series.
