Pretty sure that's rubbish. But I'm sure someone more knowledgeable on the different models will be along to put your mind at rest soon. I'm sure I've seen folks in Modern MINI and Go MINI (when it was around) who have put an S bonnet on a One.

Why don't you head over to the introduce yourself forum and say HI!

Welcome to the site, an S bonnet will fit a ONE, but, the cars must be model specific, like the R50 will not accept the R56 bonnet

why do you want to fit a cooper s bonnet tae a one?????

[The Dogfather]

So he doesn't have to put up with the fuel bills and insurance, not to mention that whining noise that you get with an S ;)

[vintageb3]

Yeah...that noise bugs the hell out of me!;)

Here's one though...can you fit a Cooper S to a Mini one bonnet?:rolleyes:

Ahhh GO MINI.... That was a brilliant magazine and so much better than the present Modern MINI in my opinion.....
