Here is the link if you need the flywheel and clutch, and this link for the aftermarket option.
Generally speaking, you 'can' re-use the flywheel as long as it is not damaged / worn excessively. Our trusted local MINI shop 'usually' replaces the flywheel every other clutch service, unless it is damaged or has unusual wear.

ooh... the cooper S uses the Dual Mass Flywheel. That alone is $600-$800. The clutch kit isn't so bad, $250-$500 for the PP, CD, TOB in a box. Labor is what kills. I just replaced the clutch in my Non-Turbo R56. Because I was repairing several other things, it took me 2 days. I can see a full day of labor for just the clutch. Shop eBay and Amazon. do the work yourself if you are capable and you might get under the $800 mark. Get a Bently Hardcover manual. Take your time and don't rush disconnecting the plastic parts. I have pictures of how far you need to tear it down to get the trans out. With a floor jack and a Trans jack, you don't need to drop the subframe. Saved me many hours of work...

When you say $800, I presume you are talking about the cost of the part without labor?
Are you looking for a simple replacement clutch or are you looking for an upgrade?

If doing it yourself, rock auto for parts, and a service manual
