Mini Cooper S grille in a nose cone
jon200 - 11/1/13 at 01:01 PM

Has anyone done this? I'm not sure of the size of the scoop but the mini bonnet is the right angle. I think it could help those with cooling issues if it sat above the grill. Do you think it might fit?

Do you mean a Mini S Scoop in a 7 bonnet?

You title and picture seem to contradict!

Sorry to hi jack the thread but where did you get the bonnet vent in the picture ?

Cheers Dan

Oh i see now the extra picture is there, yes indeed that may well be quite graftable on to a nose.

Quite possibly doable, but it will look ugly as hell and if you stick it on the nose it won't be very effective anyway, since it's already a high pressure area.

Even IF you could do it ,then you would have 2 truly Fugly cars . Not just the black POS

What's wrong with my 7?

That was a picture for example purposes. Looks like if has an extr lip on this one. If I was going to use one it would be a standard one.

It was on the car when I got it so I am not sure where it came from.

Hi Rick, it's not the scoop I'm was going to do it was going to be an opening for extra air flow. The mini picture was a bad example.



Here's a better one. Just a plain vent.

Just found this thread so someone else thought about it.

I can't decipher the dimensions though. Think I'm being a bit thick!
