The Mini Cooper S is supercharged. I don't know what a Mini Cooper D is, never heard of it..

Well, everyone before me is wrong, and right.
The 2002-2006 Mini Cooper S was super charged, and the current Mini Cooper S Cabriolet is still supercharged.
The 2007 and later coupes are turbo's.
The Mini One D is a diesel version of the Mini, not available in North America.

Grommit801 is dead right
I own a 2006 Mini Cooper S and it is definitely supercharged, the newer model (R56) is turbo charged (although still has a supercharger air scope on the bonnet for some reason)
both the one D and the newer cooper D are diesel varients
the other difference is huge performance difference - oh and the size of the fuel bill

to the guy who answered above me. MINI kept the "Mail Slot" in the bonnet to keep with the the styling as the pervious versions. Even tho there isn't a superchager intercooler behind the slot, it still serves as a cooling vent for the turbo.
Keep in mind, if they got ride of the slot, you wouldn't be able to tell the differences between the Cooper and the Cooper S from the front, you'd have to check out the rear exhaust and badges.

Robert M is wrong, the mini cooper S model comes with a turbo its not supercharged, it has 172 hp while the regular mini comes with 118hp, these are the specs for the USA mini models, im assuming your talking about the UK models since you mentioned the mini cooper D model which comes with 110hp or 80kw, im pretty sure its a DIESEL MODEL
