Cabrio Roof Flags

For all you fellow cabrio owners with $1500 burning a hole in your pocket:

(Note: it says more flags to come!) I think it looks kind of cool. Anyone know when (if) these are coming to the US?

I keep my top down half the time. Can I get that at half the price?

Replacement tops

Good to see someone's already carrying aftermarket replacement tops, I'm hoping that over the years we'll see other offerings to keep the cost of a new top reasonable. Most aftermarket replacement tops for 4 passenger cars can easily run from $1 to $1.5k (for a good fabric top with glass window) so if MINImania is getting $1.5k for a Union Jack replacement top that's actually pretty easy to swallow. I was just joking about marketing giant Iron-on transfers for the MINI tops so the topless can sport flags as well...

I received this message from MiniMania UK:
Thank you for your enquiry into the new cabrio hoods.

Unfortunately, these are still being tested at the moment. They are going through various testing to ensure that the quality of them are 110%. We are unsure as to when they will be going to the USA, but they definitely will be at some point. I'm sure if you keep checking the website, as soon as they are launched officially they will be posted on the home page.

Apologies that we have no new informtion.

Regards
Janine Evans

Makes sense...

MINImania doesn't list replacement tops on their US website. Hope to see some soon.
has anyone seen any other aftermarket replacement tops yet?
