Purpose and technical function

The presented bonnet air intake was designed specifically for the Cooper S version of the R55/R56 series as a front body zone component. It is responsible for directing airflow into the engine compartment and maintaining the proper aerodynamics of the vehicle's front. Thanks to a design consistent with factory Mini standards, the part ensures a correct fit with the bonnet and other front-end components.

Color and visual fit

The British Racing Green II Metallic - B22 color is a distinctive, deep metallic green shade often found on sporty Mini versions. Using the original shade allows for the aesthetic replacement of a damaged component without the need for additional painting of the entire bonnet, provided the vehicle's paint matches the same color code. This solution is particularly beneficial for post-accident repairs and restoring a consistent body appearance.

Installation characteristics

The air intake is intended for installation in the Front zone, within the bonnet (hood) area. The design, based on the original Mini project, facilitates installation in place of the original part while maintaining the correct mounting points. This makes it possible to restore the original geometry of the vehicle's front and proper airflow without the need for body modifications.

Condition and benefits of choosing a used part

The item is offered in Used condition, meaning it has been dismantled and may show signs of normal wear while maintaining full structural functionality. Choosing an original, used part from this group allows you to:

• maintain the factory fit and body lines of the Mini,
• ensure compatibility with the original paint in code B22,
• reduce repair costs compared to new replacements.

Support in selecting and expanding the Mini front zone

If you are planning a comprehensive repair or upgrade of the front zone in your Mini and need other elements from the same group, such as additional grilles, intakes, or masking panels, check the available parts in the Mini Grilles and radiator covers category.
