Looking for "Checkered Rearview Mirror Cover" ...

I've seen lots of British rearview mirror covers, but I can't seem to find the checkered one. My wife really wants one... Looked on most of the obvious sites with no luck.

Anyone know where?! Thanks!

classic mini has em..they're vendors here or you can also try morristown mini
usually morristown mini is cheaper to be honest..but either way they're cheapest on those two sites.
make sure you check to see if it has the auto dimming on it or not.
i want to buy one too. but i'd rather have that money go somewhere else..i'll probably get it for the future or if someone buys one for me..

here's the direct link..it may take a while to load..for some reason it took forever for me..

The checkered cover that the dealer sells won't fit your '03 mirror burley. They will only fit the '05 and up models with the different size mirror. I tried to do this on both an '02 and '04 with no luck. They do make the Union Jack cover for our mirrors though. I was thinking of having mine painted, maybe you could look into this option as well?

Yes really. Notice the years on their site for the mirrors, for the 05 and up there is a drop menu with the checkered option in it. Very lame that they would do this to us because I would have bought two of them already.
