Hi Martin, I can't quite tell from the photo, and as others have said, the rubber strip obscures the view. Is it a possibility that it is a clubman front bumper with that rubber strip added? I'll look forward to seeing your pup's new paint! Best, MSH p.s. if it is a clubman front bumper, some say they offer slightly better strength against very minor bumps, so it may be worth saving?

Thanks for the comments, I'll take the bumper off today & see if I can remove the rubber strip.

It almost looks like the rubber strip from a Canadian bumper stuck onto a standard bumper.

I don't know what the bumper is, but the rubber strip could have been added to a stock bumper, it looks added to me. What I would do is remove the bumper, then remove the rubber strip and see what the bumper looks like. I personally would put a stock Mini front bumper on it without the rubber strip.

I'm trying to identify this front bumper on my pickup, having the body resprayed soon but I'd like to put a new bumper on.This one's got dings & it is twisted.
Talked to sales with our host but they are not too sure it ever came off a Mini. The black rubber strip on the lower half of the bumper is not standard they think. 1971 Mini.
Thanks, M.
