hi,

is it possible to install the Mini Cooper S bonnet (the one with the air entry) onto a Mini Cooper D?
I have seen various Mini Coopers (R53) with the Mini Cooper S, but i haven't seen any of the R56s with it.
Does the Cooper D, have a higher bonnet? Will the Cooper S hood fit?
Is it 'plug and play' or a bit more complicated?
Do i have to change the bumper or the grill?

thanks!

I think of heard of someone who has put a MCS bonnet on a Cooper but I'm not too sure about whether it can be done on a Dooper. But I'm sure someone will be able to advise.

To have the air scoop (MCS look)

I think the Bonnet on the Dooper is the same as the Cooper S already (minus the Airscoop). If you look under the bonnet you can see the hole where the scoop would be. Saying that you would imagine that the bonnet on an S should be easily transferred to a D.

i thought the Diesel had a higher bonnet on it due to engine hieght. Whether it does fit or not its gonna be pricey as doubt they'll be any secon hand ones

There was an R56 MCS bonnet on e-bay but I haven't been on in the last couple of days so it may have sold.

I think the S has a higher bonnet than a Cooper, So makes sense it will be the same height as the D.

What he said - as I understand it, the turbo diesel engine is more or less the same size as the turbo petrol engine
