Monza Fuel Cap- where to buy?

Hey fellas

I'm looking to replace my factory fuel cap on my 2001 Sport Package Mini. Has anyone replace this with a Monza Fuel Cap that flips on and off for fueling? I have seen variations on prices ($55-$200) from sites such as Mini Mania, 7enterprices, gbparts, etc. Thanks for the help guys and pictures of yours installed and where you bought would help. CHeers!

Sam

Though I don't have a fuel injected mini, I don't think the caps are the same or interchangable. Make sure to specify the actual year of your car when ordering. I have seen these for auction regularly on ebay.

I will be installing one this weekend. Just bought it from gbcarparts.com. Better quality then I thought! I will post a picture for you when I get a moment. The man that runs the gbcarparts.com's name is Dave. He called me when I had bought the wrong parts for my Clubman. He ended up sending me the rights ones and saved me a bunch of money!
