MINIs don't have "hoods", they have bonnets.

I'm up for some rivalry between gens, but no Civil Wars, please. I still don't think the US has recovered from the first one in some areas...

I like that this is good-natured at the outset. I'm sure once the R56 rolls in and people start spouting opinions, things will get more hairy.

In order to be fair to the R56 owners there should also be a hood scoop decal that says Fake Hood Scoop.

So can we future R56 owners play?
How about decals to place on our PLASTIC C Pillars that say "Insert Glass Here."

R50/53 is from '02 to '06. The R56 is from "07 on. Turbo is generally faster than SC's, and the specs say it is lighter, has more HP/Torque.

So, basically, R56 owners should have a bumper sticker with an arrow pointing to their exhaust saying,"Choke on this'" for those R53 owners who'll be breathing in our fumes with their functional hoodscoops.

How about "turbos suck hot air" or, for the R56, "not Neon powered".
