What colour is your Mini? I think it's a great idea - but then I would, as my car has a leather (-effect) roof ;D

Can you still get vinyl roof kits??
There used to be a 'vinyl roof paint' available at one time...back when I started driving there was a jacked-up pink V6-powered Corsair estate knocking about locally that had had its rear side windows painted with it in some misguided attempt to make it look like a van....bless the owner, he even left little circles clear to look like portholes.....:spew:

I then wanted to start cleaning the interior as it stinks of wood (the material not the smell of a boner) best quote ever! |

I quite like vinyl roofs, a few of mine have had them - I guess it depends on the car! I don't know if it'd work as well on a mini though - most saloons have it so it runs down the rear pillars as well which completes 'the look', having just the roof in it might look plain odd to me?!  |

Vinyl roofs = teh win  |

They look good on some cars and suck on others. The pain thing that makes me groan about them is if I buy a car and I see a vinyl roof I just know its going to be rusty underneath it... I have taken vinyl tops off a few cars and its hard work... The metal underneath is never "right" So they are a pet hate of mine. However on some cars they look right....   or less so....   |
