Purchasing accessories before you receive your MINI
I have the following on order waiting for my D/Sb '08 MCSa to arrive:
4" Shorty antenna
Clear Fog Light Covers
GoMINIGo Lic Plate Mount "No-Holes"
DDMWorks R56 Street Intake with Ram Air Scoop
19mm Rear Sway Bar, lighter wheels & better (not run-flat) tires are next.
Installing the mudflaps, sport stripes, and driving lights myself to keep around $800 out of the dealer's pocket.

I am picking my car up very shortly. In the meantime, I have
- OEM floor mats with the MINI logo. Dang, they're HEAVY! But that'll make sure they don't crack in hot weather. You should see them up close. They're very nice.
- TONS of grille badges still in transit
- arm rest, I ordered the one that flips up on top. Although small, it has slightly more room than the one the dealer suggested to me. Also, it has another flaw, because the door slides open, it has a tendency to do that by itself or when your elbow accidentally rubs against it after changing gears. Suggest you avoid this if you're tall or have long arms. The kind i bought cost me LESS too!

Before i bought my MINI i had ordered:
4" stubby antenna, 15% Pulley, CAI, Glove Box Organizer, Factory Tray Set, Black Mirror Caps, and had started shopping for new wheels/tires, as well as somebody to change the color of my roof and paint my spoiler.
