The rack I had originally in this car was a Z4 manual rack. There is some more information about the rack on this forum: http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=279984
For my set up (I have big brakes and 18" wheels on R compund tyres) I have to disagree with some of the remarks in that thread - I had to change the rack because it was way too heavy - you need some muscle to turn the wheel. It was just not livable and was a hinderance - the new CSL powered rack is quite light in comparison but is truely tranformational and makes the car 100x easier to drive at the limit (even though the CSL rack is not as quick).
I run a carbon hood which has two carbon brackets coming of it down towards the ground - i then have two pins that bolt through it - here is a pic without the hood and where the pins bolt in through the grill (thick arrow) and the bit that it screws in to (thin arrow)
