Hi.
I just received my '05 Cooper S convertible.
Is the Mini Cooper S gas cap lid conversion applicable to this model?
Thnks: Denes

 

That's a good question. It should because the 05 Cooper S Convertible has the nifty cap. I did notice, however, that the metal part of the door on the convertibles is different from the hardtop Cooper.

nope....the cooper S gas lid will not fit any convertible...


i guess the convertible mechanism use that part of the body panel space and thus you can not fit the deep indent necessary for the gas lid

 

So, does the S convertible not have the traditional S cap?

 

About 99% positive that it doesn't.

 

i say 100% :smile: or else the original message wouldnt make sense...he says he bought a MCSC and wants to add the MCS gas cap

I read it in GOmini...they assured the reader that it wouldnt fit because of the folding roof mechanism taking up too much space.

 

here is an MCSC...notice the gas lid

 

That is what I was afraid of. Being a smarty I already bougth the conversion kit. Now I can look at it.

I actually like that lid better than my MCS lid.

 

Naw, you can sell it to a Cooper Owner! Put an ad on the marketplace!

 

i call dibbs on the kit!!!
