You're not the first to think so. But some future Cooper S owners might want get rid of it and get the painted cover as fitted to non-S MINIs instead. Unhappiness with it being fake.R1 said:

unless there's a holder for the cap like those found on BMWs, Benzs and other makes, one maybe prone to either leaving he cap on the roof, on the ground, or somewhere else while filling up. Until there is a bracket or some mechanism to hold the cap during fill ups, I guess a plastic cable would do just fine. besides, does it really matter that much? 
ha ha....your right.....it's probably the most menial debate on the whole site...... but there is a little holder built into the cover to stick it....

I commented elsewhere that the cable would mean the cap will be flapping about against the bodywork. But some kind sole posted a picture of the cap sitting on it's holder.......Anyway, I promise i will not utter another word on the subject......

Not me. You've caught me in a mistake about saying Dark Silver for the roof.Basil said:
It is fundamental, in my mind, that a classic Mini and a new MINI have a contrasting roof color. And, living in a hot climate, I don't believe a word of it about white roofs keeping a car cooler when parked, but they sure do look better. Still, I have a hard time understanding why any car owner would put a filler cap on the roof of nice car during fueling up.
