Need Source for Aftermarket MINI Mug Replacement

The O-Rings on my OEM MINI Mugs seem to be giving out. They might have a few more miles in them, but I want to be sure I replace the mugs before I suffer the consequences of a catastrophic failure with hot coffee . Has anyone found a good replacement mug that fits in the original front seat cupholders? The MINI logo on the original mugs was nice, but I'll do without as long as the mug has superior beverage-holding capabilities , and MINI-compatible styling.

Etimates of HP improvement estimates attributable to the new mugs, if applicable, would be appreciated.

Many thanks!

I like this one http://www.cafepress.com/dcmetrominis.10535940 It's lightweight yet well balanced. It's aerodynamic design is sure to add a few extra MPGs.

Ebay currently has a guy selling his MINI Mug...the one they gave him when he bought the MINI he later sold. I think the auction ends sometime today.

Starbucks sells a small cup called "Barista". Very colorful and fits in the front holder. About 8 bucks. I really like it, use it all day at work.

Do they still send new owners that mug, or for that matter anything else? How long after the purchase did it arrive?

If you haven't gotten anything after 90 days, call 866-ASK-MINI, and they'll fix you right up.
