Looking for a OEM black hood scoop, and just cant find one without paying way too much for it.

Also where do you guys like to shop (best prices ect.) for all the different parts on the MINI?

Well, besides eBay and the like, u could check out the vendors list here on the site. From the Home page, there are Vendors Announcements; quite a few are having pretty good sales. Also, look on the left-hand column and check the Vendor Directory. Good luck in your search!

It all depends on the part.

For basic tune up stuff like filters or plugs, I use the local NAPA store.
Some stuff will ALWAYS be dealer only.
For after market, there's a number of places, and I will shop around: MossMini, Mini Mania, M7, etc.

You could call some dealerships. I know that where I bought my car, Prestige Mini in Mahwah NJ, they sell take offs for $50
