Cooper S air intake in R50

I have a 03 R50 and would like to install an air intake. Looking at this one.

I do have a question though. Can Cooper S intakes be used on the R50? If not which one should I use. What size engine is the R50 1.6 liter?

Yup, R50 is 1.6 liter and I dont think R50 can fit Cooper S (R53) CAI because R50 battery is in the engine bay which take up all the space, unless you move the battery to behind (like Cooper S style).

Not sure about the fit. I also have an R50 and I run the K&N Typhoon. Super easy install. Runs great, gets you a few more horses and sounds beast! Thats what I would go with.
