ALTA High-Flow Panel Filter - MINI Cooper S/JCW (R56)
ALTA Performance builds reusable, high-flow filtration for turbocharged MINI applications, aimed at squeezing more air through the factory airbox without the cost or complexity of a full intake swap. The MINI Cooper S/JCW (R56) shares its 1.6 litre turbo four across several body styles, and this panel filter drops straight into the factory airbox in place of the restrictive paper element.
This listing covers the MINI Cooper S (R56) and MINI JCW (R56), spanning the 2nd generation model years from 2007 through 2013. It is a direct replacement for the factory panel filter, using the stock airbox housing and mounting points.
Key Features
- Reusable, washable panel style filter media
- Direct fitment into the factory R56 airbox — no cutting or modification
- Higher airflow than the factory paper filter
- Durable construction for long term, cost effective use over disposable paper filters
- SKU: AMP-INT-106
Vehicle compatibility, OEM part numbers, and fitment notes are provided in the tabs above. Please confirm your R56's model year and engine configuration before ordering.
