screen for S hood opening?
looking at my 05 S from the front it looks like a screen of some type would look nice in the front hood scoop
wondered if others have done this mod
i think the second gen minis have a screen already or one i saw was modified
trying to figure a way to attach and what material to use
thanks

Hello,
There is an actual intercooler on the gen 1 as the gen 2 its was for a heat vent and styling. I seen people use a mesh type chrome cover overlay which has a mesh style grille in it:

Or they have cut metal mesh to shape and stuck it in there.

gutter screen from Home Despots and about 5 minutes with a pair of good snips ....
I also took the black plastic fake screen off the back bumper and replace with the same stuff. Looks like the AERO kit but a fraction of the cost.
1 screen piece, stainless steel, 6 inches by 36 inches is enuf for both projects and costs $2.29 .... Fiskars snips under $15 and will last a lifetime
