That's where I bought my car from!!! I Kauserslautern, Germany!

 

that's nice! if I didn't have CF I'd be all over that!

 

I like it!

 

I'd like to see it in person.

Does anyone still make louvers??

I was talking to a german mini owner on another board about this hood awhile ago....he says I will email them and get price quotes and installation ideas

 

Anyone know where I can get a set of louvers similar to those? That hood is awesome!

[Homer Simpson]Uh, putting speed holes in my car. Makes it go faster. [/Homer Simpson]

All kidding aside, the louvers do look pretty good.

 

Sleek and shark like. I want one for my boot lid and one for the back of my BMW jacket. Although I don't recall Minis having these (maybe their bonnets were too short?) IMHO they really complement the retro styling theme of the current MINI. Way cool, so to speak. Thanks for posting!

 

I love that hood!!! I'll have to go back to that site and find a price, I got distracted while checking out pictures of the Red MINI on their site. Check out the Shifter inside it. Anyone know what the deal is with it??

Also you could find this amazing exhause set up in that site.

Would very much appreciate knowing where to get these louvers . . .

 

Mmm, the louvers are pretty cool, wonder how they'd look on a Cooper S hood

 

When I saw the title I was hoping for the FHM ***** again but this works too

 

I believe that is an S hood. The placing of the vents seems like a bad idea it it were to rain. The driver's side is directly over the air intake and that could lead to water in the engine. Any thoughts about potential harm?

 

I want, I want, I want, I want!! I'd have to replace, or modify, the current bonnet stripes but for those I'd be willing to.

 

That hood + bonnet stripes =

 

Yeah man! I like that!

 

thats really really nice, if only i had the money. off topic, what kind of exhaust is that?

 

VERY sharp!

 

That's cool, but are they functional? I adhere to the philosophy that all scoops, louvers, spoilers, etc. should be functional. I get annoyed when I see those stuck-on fake scoops that don't actually have openings in them.

So where does the air go in this case? Do they release heat from the enging bay or something?

yes, I'm a nudge.

 

it's just cool!

 

Yah, the function of these is to remove all the hot air from the engine bay. They are definitely functional as you can see the holes that were cut in the hood

 

Yeah, those louvers are

 

These look like ready-made louvers to me in a righthand / lefthand configuration. Anyone know who makes the kit? Where available? How much Bling $$?
