I cant figure it out... Which year or model has the chrome gas cap that is visable and which one has the covered gas cap?

 

Mini Cooper S have the chrome gas cap. All Mini Cooper Non S have the covers.

 

What he said. and they can be swapped for either style.

 

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?! If i would have known that I would have swapped out the chrome a long time ago. Anyone have a Mini Coop in electric blue cap who wants a cooper s chrome cap?

 

So you can swap out the Non Chrome cover to a Chrome cover. What is the use if there is a door hiding it?

Ill have to keep my eyes peeled, but im pretty sure that ive seen some NON Cooper S with no door but a chrome gas cap!

Maybe I should pay more attention.

 

Convertible Ss do not have the chrome caps. The body isn't thick enough.

 

Here is my 2005 MCS with a BRG Gas Cap. Didn't like the chrome



Got it from "Vinyl Styles" at the Dragon.

 

The convertable has a door to the filler cap. The door locks when the car is locked. Made me go look to check out the locking system though. Never thought about it 'till now, so no chrome gas cap for our's, just a dinky plastic one but hey, the wheels look great.

 

For NON Cooper S, who want to switch from the gas door to the cap, check out this product from Outmotoring.com:

Thanks Indymini06! I did see this while doing a search and believe me, its on the top of my MOD list!

Thanks.

 

Got mine from Outmotoring. It was my second MOD.

I painted the ring with CR OMNI (in a spray can from the paint supplier) and PPG clear (from my touchup gun).
