Aye in several places !! eBay is probably your best bet or scrap yards. There is an online scrap yard website that finds parts for you and then posts them out...

Yeah blew off. Prob didn't help that I went to lift the bonnet and it unclipped in the morning. But it clipped back in fine.(or at least I thought it was)

Y'up, it's four bolts and the clip at the rear that hold it on.
Maybe the plastic holders for the two front bolts had snapped.
Oh well, I hope you get sorted quickly.

I looked at her n we were like wtf. Then I says that's my scoop mun, up next slip road,across n down other way,spotted it, jumped out and dodged all the traffic jumped central reservation,retrieved the scoop, batterd n bruised but in 1 bit. Got home and bonded it in for life :)

I bought my Chilli Red scoop from BMW MINI Spares near Doncaster.
The scoop and spraying was about £60 I think.
I'm not sure on the postage though as I drove there to pick it up with my Chilli Red mirror I had done at the same time.

The benefits of a bigger intercooler, without the boost loss
