I have a 2011 R56 Cooper S. From what I can tell, every version of a mini has a different set-up under the engine as far as shields, covers, belly pans, etc. Can someone with a 2011 R56 Mini Cooper S (Hatchback) confirm what my car should have under the engine bay, if anything? Right now, my car has absolutely nothing under the engine/sub-frame area, but I do see various mounting points for something. Please help and post some pics if available.

Thanks in advance

The only R56 Mini that came with an engine undertray is the GP2. It can be retrofitted to your car:

I've owned a 2007 & a 2013, neither had a splash pan under the engine. There is a small splash shield under the right front corner

 

I just removed that little splash shield on my car to put on another.

 

Below is the standard R56 looks like under the engine:


The OEM "splash shield" is that small triangle shaped piece next to the oil pan, on the left side of the picture. The GP2 shield will cover the whole area from the bumper back to the middle of the subframe cross member, just in front of the cat.

 

Just an update these back in stock again

Serious question, won't this increase engine and turbo temps?

 

It will actually increase airflow through the radiator and engine bay, and help with aerodynamics under the car. Due to the benefits seen from having an undergrad, I believe Mini decided not to include n under tray in the US due to cost cutting. All 3rd gen models have one…

 

+1 ^^

 

ordered from ECS and installed on 11 MCS

 

Nice!

That front tab actually goes under the bumper lip, so it can hold up the front edge while you secure the two rear clips. When I pull mine off, I'll slide it back in under the bumper lip, secure the two rear fasteners, then go around and get the rest.

 

Yep that tap goes up on top and then the pan slides fwd a bit.
