Do you have any concerns about vibrations causing cracking in the plastic headlight body? The headlights do seem quite robust, however. I do like where your filter is placed. I'd have mine there too if it weren't already occupied by the charge piping.

I agree, for such a small engine bay/front end, there is a decent enough amount of room in there. Have you ever seen the engine bay of a Mini S, they give me anxiety just looking at them!

The intake and filter is no longer touching the headlight housing since I installed my bracket. There should be any contact even with bumps so there should be no issue of cracking. The original bracket supplied by DC is rubber dampened but my bracket is not, potentially my bracket could crack but it seems very stable and the intake is not overly heavy so it should be fine
