Oh, well I'm not here to please everyone, Plus if I cared what people thought then I wouldn't have purchased a Mini.

I do agree that it looks WRXish, doesnt match the MINI or follow the stock lines (whatever that means) - which are all reasons that I like it. The WRX scoop doesnt look like it should come on a stock WRX either and I like it too. Looks great. What ever happened to that pick of the 02 MINI with the big old chrome blower sticking out of the hood anyway?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people think MINIs are ugly.

Wow, that is one contoversial scoop! I actually like it. Someone said that it looks like a WRX scoop, and I think that that's a good thing. The WRX is one lean, mean air-scoopin' machine!

Wanna bet on that? I'd guess from shutting off the back flow of air that this passes LESS cooling air than the stock set-up...Bling, BLING!!

Too Hoover-like

My opinion, it sucks. Maybe it should be gold plated.

Why is it when someone posts information and or photos of their Mini, someone always feels the need to post negitive comments? Why "attack" someone just because they have something on their car that you don't like. If you don't like it, just say its not for your and move on...or better yet see below.

It's definately different - not for me though; I'm going to have to side w/ the girlfriend. It kinda looks like it's backwards? (..I know it's not..)

Looks good Mario, UP, I like the aggressive look it gives your baby. It fits well.

Implies all opinions are sought. If anyone who posts such a question only wants favorable comments, then why bother? I'm not here to boost everyone's self-esteem with over their bling.

It will stand out from other MINIs in a lineup, if that's the intent.

I think Mario is compensating for his small nose.
