Can anyone tell me where I can find a carbon fiber hood (not the scoop, already have that) for my 2008 cooper S - I am having a hard time finding a lot of parts for the R56. There is an awesome hood on a yellow cooper on the front of Modern Mini magazine, which is exactly what I am looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also I am looking for the light bar kit for four lights on the top grill but in a arched configuration, not straight across. Thanks to all and happy motoring.

good question???????????????????? let me no if u find im intrested

 

Try these guys...be prepared to lay out some good cash

Thanks, but they don't specify if that is for 1st or 2nd gen mini. I have emailed them and am waiting for a reply. The price is not bad. $799.00 for a full hood is pretty cheap compared to the price of OEM Mini carbon parts. They want over $700 for the carbon tail piece alone.

 

it said r56 i think

 

body-kit sells the VIS cf stuff and if you go to VIS website they show that it's for 2002-2007 cooper and S. they probably have the date wrong and it's for R53 and wont fit R56.

 

i already emailed VIS and they dont have anything planned for the r56 coopers. i want to do a carbon fiber hood and rear hatch for my 2008 MCS

 

I have seen it somewhere....can't remember where it was. I am still looking for you guys...I hope I can find it..I am going to check SEIBON as well

 

Thanks Red Bull - I hope you can find it - I am getting somewhat discouraged when all the cool parts I see are not for my Mini. Your car looks AWESOME!!! Did you de-chrome it yourself or is that the way it came. If you did it yourself, where did you get the black trims. Mine is same color and would love to get rid of the chrome. Thanks

 

Did all the work myself...We have a custom paint shop. We do a lot for Corvettes and just starting to get into the Mini market. I did the wheels about a week ago...love them, couldn't find a set of wheels I liked better than the ones I had so just decided to paint them.

 

That is one mean looking car Red Bull. When you painted the chrome and the wheels, did you coat it with something before you added the black? What were your steps? or did you just paint the black over it? Sorry for the rookie questions. I got my MCS yesterday and I'm all over the place as I'm thinking about doing some stuff on it.

 

I've been on the look out for the hood/hatch as well... no luck yet.

 

carboncreations.com is a better website then bodykityz

 

Since your post bodykityz has started carrying R56 hoods, in case you haven't found out yet...

 

Finally!

 

yeah looks like they have the Duell AG vented hood. $1099 delivered.

 

Well post pics when you get it installed I would love to see it. Also get weights between stock and CF
