OK, not quite a performance mod but a mod question nonetheless.

CAN a regular Cooper hood be put on the Cooper S and have the supercharger's input need run through the normal grill via some 'pipes'? Curious as I think the Cooper hood is nicer looking than that S hood.

Thanks,

I'm fairly certain that there is a space issue. The S bonnet is also a little taller to accommodate the extra S goodies. So, no, I don't believe this can be done. ...Good try though!

 

You do something like that and you will be MINIless.. Why would you want to go through that hassel?? :???:

 

Mini2Go is absolutely right. The reason for the bonnet is the induction for the intercooler, and there is a packaging issue with the amount of air available through the front slats that precludes using the front for intercooler supply air.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Wow, never expected so many responses in so short a time. Thanks to all who replied. Ah, will let this idea die a quiet death then....:smile:

Thanks again!
