Cooper S Gas lid - BLACK ?

I'm looking for pics of a BLACK Cooper S gas lid. I have the chrome on my Park Lane but wanna show a friend what it would like having a black one on a Pure Silver/Black Cooper. Anyone?

I'm pretty sure that Koolmini's gas cap is black, although his car is DS.

I know it's a bit off topic, but my photo (post #6) reveals something that I've never noticed on the MINI before: the windshield line is perfectly extended through the cut line on the bonnet! Look at that--in profile they line up perfectly as a continuous line. Now I know why the windshield is at the angle it is...

cheers,

That's just a throwback to the styling of the original mini. On the original, the windshield post seam ran down in a straight line to form the joint between the front wing and the 'A' panel.
