that's the logo for my business, t-rex motorsports
you can see the logo better at www.t-rexmotorsports.com .
it's kinda like a atomic symbol with a t in the middle of it.
thanks for the props guys i love my mini.

Nice, I like. Now my question to you is, did you clear bra the front end? I fitted the Aero-Kit without clear bra and let me tell you, its a rock magnet! I have all sorts of rock chips now so I got another bumper and is going to get sprayed and clear bra installed prior to going on the MINI. Just giving you a heads up and trying to save you the headache I had over the kit, even though I love it!

No problem, you have a beautiful MCS there and would hate to see even half the rock chips I have on it... Around town im sure is safe but I wouldnt take your car on the highway without the clear bra haha. The front bumper is one of my couple winter projects for the MCS.

Looks tight. I guess we are Uber scoop brothers. Keep up the good work.

Do you see any significant changes with horsepower by having the full induction scoop than the stock scoop?

Sorry, I had to get the magnifying glass out.

From this angle the super-scoop looks okay. Where does the extra air under the bonnet escape to?

I'm torn on the looks now, I didn't like it in the few pics I'd seen before but on this car the Scoop looks pretty good. This is one of those things that to me would come down to how well it works in the real world.
