The hood (right above the hood scoop) on my r56 07 Mini cooper s is extremely hot after any driving at all. It's literally hot enough to melt the plastic on the hood. This is well over 200 degrees f and is a huge safety hazard to not only myself but any individual passing by the car. I'm deathly afraid that this will either start a fire in my garage or cause an individual to accidentally burn themselves on the hood of my car. I have already been burned from this once by placing my hand on the hood.
