bongiorno! I lived in Italy for about a year. Would have loved to have had the MINI on the roads I drove to work. I lived in Feriole, a very small town (at least in 1987) about 1/2 hour from Venice.

Wow, I can't believe that you have a U.S. flag on your MINI. Aren't you afraid someone will throw a rock at it? I think your MINI is awesome and the photo by the water is beautiful. Welcome to NAM, come back often.

Hi bart, yes, i use dolphin fin 4 radio and the raception is perfect. 4 the Mini restyling (after sept04) is very simple & fast to install it... if u want order it in your
dealer the correct part number is 84506918545.
4 the mini befor sept04 is more difficult install it also the reception is not good...

Hi everyone from Italy...
was a long time i didnt post here but i always visit the website...
After 7 yrs w my R56 i'm really thinking to buy an F56...
I wish to buy, like i made for R56, a US flag for the sunroof... but cooperflags.com is out of the market....
So guys, u know a similar website where find similar items ?!

Tks in advance for any reply...

Greating from Italy

The USA flag on the roof in NLA from MINI. Looks like that other business went under , all I can think of is a local decal or body wrap shop that could make one for you.

Good luck.

Ciao! Just more and more people popping up on here from Italy! I love it! I am 3rd generation Italian. Moms side is from Modena and fathers is from Naples. You'll love the F56. MightyStripes.com does offer customized options. Look at posting #9 in their FAQ here. Email them and see what they can do to get you the graphic you're wanting.

Local custom vinyl wrap should work as well. Wouldn't be too difficult with the straight lines throughout.
