Gas Lid

Has any one seen this gas lid? I found it on www.vmaxx.de but I can't read the site. I would like to find it on a US part site so I could find out how it mounts and maybe order it. I have found some that look close but not one that looks as good as this one.

I love the 2nd one but I believe they are only for the NON S Mini's.

I've seen these or similar ones at Moss MINI. The second one looks very familiar. Can't remember the brand--but I thought it was from Germany and costs something ridiculous like $600.

Btw, your gas lid image can't be displayed that way. It needs to be accessible on the Internet. Since every NAM member has a gallery, I would upload it there by using the Manage Attachments feature when editing/creating a new post.

Fuel door lid

try the Sparco lid- like the Hamann but less dough...

I talked to a rep from sparco- he said it must be custom fit. Probably an easy job for anyone dealing w/ body work, though...

Probably a fitting nightmare Those "generic" caps appears to have no contour and the Mini's bodyside is crowned.

Yea, probably right. I love the look but I won't be the guinea pig.

I have an '05 MC so I'll just do the "S" conversion. The ring needs to be painted but aren't there any chrome or carbon rings avalible?
