I had an older gentleman in a Smart car wave at me very energetically as I pulled out of my driveway the other day. I suppose he thought we were in the 'small car club' or something.

I received Cooper S rubber boot mat and CravenSpeed Dipstick.
I already have MINI official boot/cargo area cover, but there are velcro'd openings at the lowest point of the cover, which is the boot area, for some mysterious reason. To me that kind of defeats the purpose of the cover as liquid could drain from there into the actual boot. I'm hoping this rubber mat can act as "the last line of defense" when I take her to scuba diving trips pretty much every other weekend. Wet gear is boxed, but could drain from tank/weights or box might break one day. I'm it's a real fun to clean salty water off of boot area.
Ease of use and legibility of CravenSpeed dipstick compared to 2011 stock stick are really night and day. I really wish MINI came with these to begin with.

It is MINI/BMW genuine accessory, part# 51470418666.
I had some Amazon reward points so I got from them, sold by AutoGoodParts fulfilled by Amazon. Amazon will honor any problem, returns etc as if they were the seller, and can use Prime free 2-day shipping.
It fits perfectly and looks very nice, perfect match with "S" rubber mats for the front/rear the dealer gave me with the car. Sadly I won't even see it much as I run cargo cover full-time (mat is sitting below it) but It's nice to know it's there.

My victory lap was getting her the tuning kit and other JCW bits, and new wheels.
Its a very nice rear mat and helps keep the back truck carpet clean.

Great for storage and they let you use the rear hooks for the netting.

Received these "maintenance items" for a relaxing Saturday with the R53. Yep, that's what they are, "maintenance items". Cars need to be maintained in order to run properly.
