I'm pretty sure I've seen them by chance when flipping thru stores that sell other car accessories, but I don't think I've seen them on MINI specific websites.
I was contemplating bending the stock antenna and shaving off some of the rubber, as I don't use the stock antenna at all. I'll post some pics if I actually do this.
Anyone know if that empty hole will rust up? I might need to find something for that.

Have a look at http://www.antennax.com/
They offer a 13" plastic antenna that can be bent into a gentle curve, and at $10, the price is right...

Alta Antenna = Poor Reception
I bought the Alta antenna since I heard so many great things about it. Unfortunately, the reception is horrible. I live in a very urban area (Washington, DC Metro area), so I am a little blown away that the performance is so poor.
If I put the MINI antenna on, the reception is awesome...I can't stand the R/C car look of it though.
Also, I noticed that as soon as I drive into a parking garage, the signal dies almost immeadiately with the Alta...bummer.
I think I'll try out the S2000 antenna. Hopefully I'll see better results.

Interesting idea. The product itself is just a hinged joint that you screw your own antenna on. You may be able to fabricate something similar using parts from the hardware store.
