Purpose and function in the vehicle

This component serves as an external hood air intake grille, mounted in the front body zone. It is responsible for directing air into the engine bay and providing the characteristic sporty look of the S version in R52 and R53 models. Thanks to its precise fit to the hood contours, it maintains the factory body lines and improves the visual consistency of the car's front end.

Color and visual fit

The intake is finished in Pure Silver Metallic - 900, allowing for an aesthetic match with factory paint in this color or a deliberate contrast with other body colors. The metallic coating gives the component a modern character and complements the chrome and black details typical of the Mini Cooper S.

Technical characteristics and installation

As a part from the Air intakes and vents category, the product is designed for installation at the factory mounting points on the Mini hood. The design is compatible with the original intake opening, requiring no bodywork modifications or additional adapters. As a used part, it comes from vehicle dismantling, which allows for maintaining compliance with the manufacturer's original specifications while optimizing the costs of repair or body refreshment.

Practical application and benefits

The use of this air intake is particularly beneficial in situations such as:

• replacing a damaged or missing intake due to a collision or corrosion,
• restoring the original Cooper S look after previous modifications,
• completing the car's visual project with a factory component with a sporty character.

By maintaining the original geometry of the intake, you can rely on proper airflow and compatibility with other hood and front-end components.

Compatibility and part selection

The component is intended for Mini Cooper S models of the R52 and R53 generations, in versions equipped with a hood scoop. When selecting the part, it is worth paying attention to the color match and body variant to avoid differences in paint shade and hood shape. The product has assigned part numbers and interchangeable numbers, which facilitates verification of compatibility with a specific vehicle configuration in manufacturer catalogs or parts selection systems.
