Hi all,

Anybody know where you can buy a white bonnet scoop for the cooper s from? looked
on ebay and done a search but cant seem to find one anywhere.

If not, what colour white would i need to use to spray the thing myself, so it's the same
colour white that is used on the roofs.

cheers

Doubt you will find one that colour as it's not a colour available from MINI.

The roof colour is Aspen White

Scrogg · Jul 31st, 2006, 08:30 AM

The paint codes for the white used on MINI roofs are Aspen White 899 or Pepper White 850 - I am SUCH an anorak!

You'll need to get a dealer to check which yours is from your chassis number.

Any paintshop will be able to mix you up some paint , but probably only in a fairly large quantity, so again you'd be better off asking your dealer's bodyshop if they can spare enough to paint the scoop.

Hope this helps?

850 is Pepper White, and you'll know this colour immediately, it's a creamy eggshell off white colour.

You know what I meant!!

Anyone know how much a new (un-painted) scoop would cost from Mini?

I'm also thinking about doing this but i would like to keep the original one so i can change it back if i want to.

Ever considered a chrome one
