Don't know what this is called but it's plastic and it's cracked.

While looking over my car yesterday (07 MCS JCW) I noticed the plastic area on the passenger side, between the hood and the windshield that the wipers come out of was cracked and broken. When you raise the hood, it looks like it's one big piece along with the covers of the fluid reservoirs behind the engine.

I've taken some pictures:





Anyone experience this? Could the JCW Suspension be too stiff for the piece?

I'm going to run by the dealer this week and see if I can get it replaced.

No doubt.

Out of curiosity, I spent a little time yesterday looking for the part on realoem.com but couldn't find it.
