What year is your MINI? S? We can get you Seibon CF hoods. It's about $935.

The hood above has a hood scoop, not the usual replacement for the base model.
I guess the S hood will fit, though, if you want to do that.

Could also just be the universal photo they're using, but they do say they have the hood available for the base MINI.

I've hear that fit on seibon cf hoods aren't good for our cars, I was contemplating on one for my MCS but ended up with one from Carbon Creation which fit pretty good with minor adjustments which is expected, hardest part is trying to figure out where to mount the locking hood pins.

It's not that they're not good for our cars just some brands don't fit quite as well that's all. I've had a carbon hood for past few cars for weight saving and always had great luck with them. Another company you can contact also is VIS racing. They're pretty top notch quality and fitment.

I run Seibon on my car, non-MINI and it definitely isn't perfect with its lines, but it's an all around solid quality hood. Just my personal opinion. I like it.
