Larger Windscreen Washer Fluid Reservoir???

Anyone successfully located a replacement?

Preferably made of lightweight aircraft aluminum.

Like I swear I read on this board somewhere that it is possible to swap in a BMW one that holds more.

Hmmmm. More searching ahead.

As for the aluminium request I believe the front wheel may have impacted the bottle. Maybe plastic cracks too easily when placed just behind a plastic wheel well.

I'm getting my leaky one replaced by the MINI folks and I'd like a better replacement.

I'm not saying this isn't possible but AndyW and myself had a hefty side on side impact where the whole left of my car was damage AND the wheel moved back forcibly into and destroying the plastic arch - amzingly the water bottle was unharmed!
