I do not have any pictures right now, but I do have that CAI. I like it, but I am going to cut out the plastic divider between the filter and the area below the bonnet scoop. I had a different CAI before and this one seems like it is not getting enough airflow.

I will get pictures after I wash it up. We moved a week ago so cleaning Venti Due has been lowered on the list of priorities.

The Promini one looks good too.

Hate to sound naive, but here it goes. My salesperson told me to check for debris that can get into the engine through the grill. She said that there is a filter available to prevent this. Any ideas of what this part may be called and where to find it? Also, has anyone applied the Mini Mania stainless side trim/ door guards or the extra-wide flares?

Thanks

How do you mean " in the engine"?

Do you mean literally inside the engine itself or just in the engine bay?
Either way it's a crap statement from the dealer.
And which "grill" do you mean?
The older MINIs had a foam filter in the cowl inlets which has been replaced buy a unit that is not really a filter, just a screen.

FAQ: What air intakes are available for the 'S'?
