I have a friend who is willing to help me replace the bumper and the right rear wheel arch trim but doesn't know too much about about mini coopers. Is this doable? Are these parts the correct parts? The sellers are telling me they are but I'm a bit paranoid. Does anyone have any tips or know of instructional videos that would make this easier? Also, are there any more parts that I am missing? I know that some of the clips for the right rear wheel arch trim broke off. Are these easy to find?

Perhaps a photo of the rear bumper on the car and the replacement bumper might help....

As for the difficulty, it is not bad assuming you have some basic technical skills - if you can change the oil in your car, you can probably do the bumper and wheel arch. There are a lot of clips and screws so take your time and take photos along the way so you can re-assemble accurately.
