Bonnet w/Scoop
I dearly love my '02 MINI, but I also like the look of the "S" bonnet with the scoop. Would it be possible to install an "S" bonnet on a MINI. If so where would be the best places to locate one. Thanks!

yes, you can, its pretty much a direct swap i believe.... but that hoodscoop'd be pretty useless!
might be a fun project though if you have any knowledge of rubber to run a rubber tube to your intake

A friend of mine did it on his black MINI Cooper, and it looks awesome!
It's a direct fit, but costs a lot of $$$.
The Cooper hood has a flat look, while the Cooper S hood is more round and includes a nice hood scoop...

Reminds me that someone on Cardomain (Noseycooper) is claiming his 2005 MCS has a 'ram intake' because of the vent/louver at the base of the drivers side of the windshield. Ha!
But I'm sure an MC could benefit from the fresh air, even if RAM intake-like conduits were not run. Whole engine compartment would be kept cooler.

Yes, I would be installing a Cooper "S" hood on a Cooper. Initially, I was thinking of the switch being cosmetic, but some of the responses indicated it might be possible to make it functional too.
DarkMiniCooperS - do you have a ball park figure for the cost and a hint as to where the "S" hood came from (Mine's also black)?
Thanks to all!
