This is where I've gone for OEM parts. http://www.penskeparts.com/
Just need your VIN # and it'll pull up your MINI.
There are other places, but I've had good luck with this one!
How did you break it? Sounds like an interesting story!

Was it that story about a weed wacker, a live chicken, and a jar of marmalade?

Classic MINI is great and they'll give you pretty good discount for being on NAM...

Nowadays when I need a part, I'll usually look it up on realoem or penskeparts, and then email Classic MINI with the part numbers for a quote.

That''s even a more interesting story than I anticipated. I hope you were able to finish your... ummm... good time, despite the mishap.

Sun shade is cheap. Fun girlfriend is priceless.

He was being a gentleman when he said that.
It was later that the real story came out.
No pictures needed!
Good luck with the sunshade.
It seems that everything on the Mini is fixable.
