dont just search fro mini roof racks; any rack with gutter brackets will fit.

The one i bought was originally from an old volvo!

I am aware that this post is from a while back but just in case anyone is still looking for a roof rack (as I am), and has the money to afford this (which I do not), I came across the following rack on MiniMania which looks quite nice:

I know this is from America and won't help with your need, but, I just have to say...

I am aware that this post is from a while back but just in case anyone is still looking for a roof rack (as I am), and has the money to afford this (which I do not), I came across the following rack on MiniMania which looks quite nice:

That rack is from Customautoracks.com

Don't buy it from minimania as I think they might still be using dial up! It takes them forever to reply to any questions or ship anything out. And when they did, it was horribly packaged (just a rack in a carboard box with no padding or anything to keep the rack in place) and the clamps broke as a result. I emailed minimania and they never replied. I emailed Customautoracks (as seen on label on the rack) and they mailed me a set of clamps for free right away.

I wouldn't deal with minimania

Thank you very much for the heads-up minimarco :thumbsup:

I also found this guy/site looking around on the web:

http://www.pedroracks.com/

He specializes in VW racks, but does them for plenty of other brands. Check out the "others" tab and you will find a Mini in there :proud:
