MINIs are just different. It’s in our attitude, unique design, and the way we allow drivers to express themselves. Now, we’re taking that one step further with limited edition rooftops designed by first-generation and immigrant artists.
SHOP ROOFTOPSThe MINI community believes that we’re all different, but better together. That’s why we’re partnering with these artists to share their stories through the rooftops they’ve created.
The artwork can be purchased as a rooftop for your MINI, or seen as a wallscape in select markets. If you see one on the road, take a pic to share, or be the one to show it off.
MINI supports the American Immigration Council, an organization committed to creating a more inclusive country, where acknowledging our differences only make us stronger.
