I have an 09 BRG R56 and went through three chrome scoops warping before the dealer said that mini doesn't make the chrome scoop anymore and put my original BRG scoop back on. I did like the chrome scoop as it went well with the chrome mirror caps. Does anyone know if mini are putting out a new and improved chrome scoop or have any other suggestions? I ma new to MA so hopefully I'm putting this out there in the right spot.

Were they installing the heatshield when the chrome scoop was put on? There is a new part number MINI states it fits 06/13 on.....It is the exact same hood scoop as the primed stock version the only difference is the chrome plating....
