If you happen to drive any distance in winter fog when it's below freezing...
...you can get rime icing on the mirror caps that would make any 737 pilot proud.
In this instance after a two-hour drive to the Twin Cities, the Aero Kit grill work was almost iced closed but still allowing some air to flow.
Edit: With winter tires on, the MINI stayed in full control and laughed as it passed abandoned cars in the roadside ditches

My hood scoop is fully functional. I've read some posts in which they said that earlier hood scoops weren't functional and they had problems with them melting. Later ones had some holes in them, my 2010, has all the holes open, from the factory. It is right above the turbocharger, I don't think there is an ice problem there in the winter.
