If the particular model is turboed, yes, that woukd be an intercooler.

ummm, when did Mini mount an intercooler behind the number plate (bumper plate) - it has always been top mounted!!

Feast your eyes on this, petrol boys! And Diesel boys!


Motorsport history was made, as the Audi R10 TDI, powered by Shell V-Power Diesel fuel technology, took an awe-inspiring victory in the 12 Hours of Sebring – the first time a diesel-powered sports car has won a world-class endurance motor race.

In a technology-defying landmark result, the performance and efficiency advantages of Shell V-Power Diesel race fuel helped drivers Tom Kristensen, Allan McNish and Dindo Capello to complete 349 laps of the Florida raceway - beating off some of the fastest gasoline cars in the world to finish in first place.

Anything can be done with the the proper amount of cash! If some1 seriously wanted to do it, i doubt there'd be much in their way bar monetary issues
