I am looking for a basket style roofrack for my 2008 Cooper, but haven't foulnd what I am looking for that would fit it. Does anyone out there have one that could direct me to a site? I appreciate it.

You'd probably be best with the Yakima base system and Loadwarrior basket. I think the baskets are close to $300 and the base systems are like $285, so you may want to find a used setup on craigslist and get new mounts to put it on your Mini.

racks are so absurd. and so absurdly priced too.
but yet they look so cool.

do yourself a favor.... instead of spending $600 to render your sunroof useless, ruin your aerodynamics, and add weight to your car.... just rip your passenger side and rear seats out. stupid, right? yes... stupid.

the racks really do look good though.

There is just something about them that gives the car a whole different look, and a cool one at that.
