I saw someone put a black hood scoop on a cooper and called it a SPORT. I thought that it looked really cool, it was when I went on a rally.

I have seen a red MCS with a white painted Hood scoop. I have seen for sale, a carbon fiber hood scoop, and I still have plans to buy a second hood scoop and have it chromed.

The article says that it's painted. It's part of their 200hp upgrade package that includes the scoop painted in either black or chrome...

These guys did it. Not my cup of tea, but they sure know how to tune the MINI.

EWWWWWWWW

The Carbon Fiber Scoop looks like a hole... Ugly

Liking the Tire Rack car's Blend into the Stripe... Good One...

Even the Shrome one looks a bit "off"

It's looking like a mod that needs to be done well or not at all.

You can get the mesh grills from Mini Cooper Parts

The Intercooler grill is only $29, I'm gettin' it for sure

Cheers,
Ryan
