yes, as far as I am aware, I think it has been done before, but don't forget to tell your insurance company otherwise you won't be covered

Yes, M style will do a conversion. There are loads of posers on Mini2 that have done it. You may also be interested in a central exhaust conversion for your cooper, to make it look even more like an S. When you pull up to the lights the boy racers will expect you to be faster off the mark than you really are though!

Yes but don't do it mate. I know that on the classic we all used to frequently paint them up like coopers and fit alloys but on the new MINI its not that cool really. Better to save your £500 (thats about what a bonnet costs) and buy an exhaust, induction and remap. Or get an aero kit/side skirts
