Why is it when someone posts information and or photos of their Mini, someone always feels the need to post negitive comments? Why "attack" someone just because they have something on their car that you don't like. If you don't like it, just say its not for your and move on...or better yet see below.

mario, that thing is hideous. dont get the jcw steering wheel. i dont want to be associated w/ you anymore
kidding honestly i think it looks a little too much for the rest of the car since there isnt anything else as aggressive.. you need a front lip to balance it out! or some kind of body kit to bring it together.
maybe a rear diffuser... and/or a FBR wing to go w/ it, plus custom sideskirts, or custom cowl pieces that have the same aggressive lines as the scoop... something to make it more sensible. it looks a little too much like it was just slapped on w/ out regard for the rest of the car.
don't get me wrong, im not dissing it. your baby's a work in progress... i appreciate you showing us the development of your crazy lil machine

Yes and no. He is asking for your opinion, not acid-tongued insulted. If you don't like it, thats fine. We've all done questionable mods at one time or another. I just don't see why people have to be so disrespectful about it. My rule of thumb is this; if you wouldn't say it to this individuals face, don't say it at all.
Gutter-sniping from the safety of your keyboard is immature and rude. By all means, share you opinion with us. But if you cannot do so in a kind and respectful say, then it is better that you say nothing at all. Didn't teacher ever tell you that it isn't "cool" to put other people down?

Since we are "guessing" about air intake volume, I'll stick with the BMW engineers rather than "Palo Alto UBER-'somethings' " any day of the week, how about you? I'd guess again that they at least did some wind tunnel testing on the original scoop, do you think that aftermarket piece had ANY done on it?

Thin skinned easily offended folks probably should stay away from internet chat rooms in general, this place is pretty tame, yet folks still feign such injury when folks converse plainly and directly. He DID ask for opinions on it and folks gave them. Want a "stroke" or a "hug"? Watch "BARNEY" or "Teletubbies."

i'm not saying to sugar coat the opinions but being a **** isn't necessary. we're all capable of being mean, but do we have to? no.

I agree with you. I knew the scoop would have mixed reviews but it is so ugly I like it. I also like it because my car is all black, I'm not sure how I would feel about it in other colors. It seems to work well with my Atla Aftercooler. Palo Uber in claiming 147% more flow and 6hp above 40mph.

Ok as far as looks go it doesnt work for me , enough said. What amazes me is that the performance claim is more outrageous than the scoop. For one the front view of the scoop shows a much more reduced area than most of the current aftermarket scoops. That has to be a minus there . Secondly how did they manage to get a dyno to go over 40 mph to register those gains ? Something doesnt fly with this deal.

My comment was not directed at anyone directly but it seems that the "guilty" parties have responded. Sorry if I hurt your feelings.

All this over a scoop?
You guys kill me. I like to look at the forums for ideas, good or bad. I think if you dont like the scoop, thats fine. But now at least we all know what it looks like, especially since the web site that sells them does not even have good pictures. Mario was kind enough to share his with us. I am glad he posted the pictures and I encourage more people to do the same. It may have just saved some of you money who were deciding to purchase one or it may be the deciding factor to get one for yourself.

Right back on topic Sorry I got distracted and didn't post my comments about the scoop:impatient
Well I agree it might depend upon the color of the car, has anyone seen it on a Indi blue car? Any chance of a close up pic on the rear seam? From the pics on the website, it looks like a gap/doesn't match the seam very well. Could be its not bolted on in the pic. I guess seeing it in person would be better. I too would like to see some testing/numbers as the numbers are quite impressive.
Looks good on your car and thanks for posting Mario.
