R55 Turbo heat shield yay or nay
#26
Thanks ECSTuning...
Based on the photos of bluefox280 bonnet, and looking at my bonnet, it looks like the attachment points on both the old and new hoods match up. So part number 51482755612 should (key word should) fit. I'm going to mention this to my dealer the next time I am there...see if I can get it installed under warranty to hopefully fix the bonnet heat behind the scoop.
Also, part number 51487307579 should work just fine on any Gen2 MINI with the newer hood...not just the R58/R59.

Prior to installation, I wasn't able to touch the bonnet during summer drives; now I can place my entire palm.

Vent Scoop
I recently purchased a 08 plate R55 Cooper S and have noticed the bonnet scoop and surrounding area heating up excessively.
I plan to copy your resolution and wondered if you still provide the vent scoops you made for your custom solution?
Thanks
James
