Is airflow the only reason someone would put an MCS bonnet on an MC? I mean...wouldn't people be "looked down on" if they had an MC and put an MCS bonnet on??
I actually like the MC hood better than the MCS one. It is a lot smoother without the scoop and I think it matches the lines of the MINI better. Try searching for some close up shots at a 45' angle (with stripes), it looks really good without the scoop.
I would sooooooo buy an MC if it had the supercharger.. too bad.. I hate the scoop.
I've always hoped that they could make a MCS without the scoop, but I guess it will only be a dream for now .

Get a water to air intercooler then you can get rid of the scoop. -- Johan

Too bad I don't have the money to do it, or else I would. lol
I wonder if the 140hp model of the nextgen MINI has a hoodscoop. If it's easily tunable to match an MCS (hopefully a JCW) and it doesn't have a scoop. I am soooooooooooooo getting that
I'm getting the MCS hood install this weekend, I really think it looks better. Plus the fact that the hood on my mini allready has some scratches and chips from the freeway dirt (35784 mi and 5 states later) makes my decision easier.
