Quick question - I need to replace the filter type things that cover the intake vents that sit under the front windscreen wipers but I've no idea what they're called. Anyone know?

They are the pollen vent covers.

If you mean no 7 then it is called

07 GRILLE LEFT SCHWARZ 1 51137122505 $19.82
07 GRILLE RIGHT SCHWARZ 1 51137122506 $19.82

Try realoem.com and put in your mini vin or the model and look under

Vehicle trim => exterior trim / grille

It is the number 7 on the diagram but not the grill itself - it had some back filter material in (a bit like what is in a fish tank filter). It's that that I'm after...any ideas?

"These are the updated one piece vent grilles at the base of the front windshield used on 2004 - 2006 MINI Cooper and Cooper S. On the 2002 - 2003 models, these vents were two piece units with a filter material that quickly disentegrated. If you own a 2002 - 2003 model, upgrade to these one piece grille and eliminate the filter, if it hasn't already disentegrated. (Your MINI has an interior microfilter filter the cabin air.)

If you need to replace the grilles on your 2004 - 2006, these are the factory replacements.

Fits 2002 - 2006 MINI Cooper and Cooper S all models, and also 2007 Convertibles. "

So it maybe that you have the older MY. Call your local dealer parts department and give him the reg etc. and see how much they charge.
