Carbon Fiber Hood For 2006 Cooper S

Can anyone please tell me if the Seibon CF hood will fit the '06 Cooper S? I know the S didn't really change much from '04 but some vendor sites say it will not fit '05 & '06. While other vendors say it will. I'm just looking for a clear answer. If it doesn't fit the '06 can it be modified to fit? Your help would be greatly appreciated

It should fit. Nothing really changed between those years, just a little face lift.

just a few words of warning....."fit" is a relative term w/ aftermarket cf bonnets. i have a VIS version and it works, but doesn't really "fit". i strongly recommend professional installation if you haven't done anything like this before. i did mine myself w/ help from some friends (including a MINI tech). i'm still not happy w/ the fit, but i can live w/ it.

I will definitely have someone help me w/the install or I will take it to the MINI dealership. Do you have a pic of your car? Thanks for the info.

I doubt the MINI dealership will install it for you. Most of them are not very helpful when it comes to aftermarket parts. Good luck though.
