Cooper S ones are different - the one on top of the dash rail has a solid top, rather than having holes in it. There was a set of 3 on ebay a while ago, 2 with holes for the rear side pockets, and the dash centre one.... not may of them about

on the subject of rip offs, the in car lights are incredibly overpriced for a bit of plastic which doesn't actually let the light through anyway.... I can't remember what I payed for one, but I ended up throwing the cover away and just using a bare bulb.

hmmm...maybe I could put some selophane over the top to enhance the mood. The ultimate pick up...a mini...and mood lighting....

I'd rather blank out the ashtray hole. anyone that comes for a ride in my car knows they will be belted in the jaw if they light up a smoke.

Besides, with the standard mini fuel leaks, the fumes would probably ignite anyway!!!! :oops:

I think mini is one of those words you can place in front of a product to make the price multiply by 10. Some other examples of this are Baby, Marine and my favourite, Limited Edition.

eg, radio $50, marine radio $500
Towel $8, Baby Towel $80
Picture $50, Limited Edition Picture from wide world of sports (limited to only 3 million) 8 easy payments of $1500

You get the idea :?
