EASILY replaced, and will save you hundreds in rust repairs later on. Take a look in the boot and under the front floor while you're on a bung replacement mission, there's a few more holes there as well.

Measure the diameter of the hole and role up to the bolt stand at supercrap or similar. They sell them as rubber grommets in packets of 5 or so.

Note that they will probably be measured in inches rather than mm, so convert your size into 5/16, 3/8 etc...

It will probably be one of those two sizes anyway.

There will be a size there for any hole that needs a bung on the mini.

The holes in roundy hydro floor pan I have here are 1/2 inch. But I only have one hole in each footwell.

replace the Bungs only if you want to stop water coming in from underneath. Mostly Mini owners leave the bungs out to let the water out!!! :) jokes.
I remember doing a wet season trip in north Queensland without bungs. Going through each washout at about 50cm deep would let in litres of water. Then driving along the outback roads we'd hit some fresh cow pats and without the bungs and carpet, poo would fly up through the holes like a fountion of sh!t hitting us all over the legs. :)

Just like standing behind a cow while milking --- only not as warm
