Supercharger air ducting missing?
Newbie question here - on a 2003 R53 should we have ducting or something installed in the underneath of the bonnet? Mine is bare under the bonnet. The photo below appears to have apparatus on the hood that would seem to guide air flow to the intercooler. Feel like mine is missing something.

Yep - I took the actual scoop off to remedy a crappy paint job from a previous owner. Scoop was painted a weird shade of black and was horribly chipped. I wet sanded it down and then plasti-dipped the scoop. Looks a thousand percent better now.

It looks like you are missing the duct that goes underneath the hoodscoop. The part number should be 51137155597 we keep it in stock and list for $67.96. We also have a coupon code TENOFF, that is goo for ten percent off an order.

Sean - does that also include the rubber gasket that seals the duct and intercooler together when the hood is shut? Seems like there are two pieces. Also, as you might be able to tell in the photo from my hood, there is an aftermarket K&N style air filter in there from a previous owner. Will that pose any difficulty with the hood vent?
