Christmas Mini Ideas

My GF just purchased a 2007 Cooper S with an automatic.

I was wondering what people thought nice additional touches would be for the car?

I don't want to increase the BHP, as she already scares me when she drives. Maybe if I could toggle a chip for when I drive, that would be better.

I was wondering about classy touches, that won't rice the car up.

I just bought an aluminum coffee mug with the MINI logo on it from my MINI dealer for a friend who recently bought a MINI.

How about the lighted door sill covers.
Girls like that stuff.

If you think she might like a bit more luxury, you could get her a set of carpet mats. MINI offers them in black and there are also some nice aftermarket choices in all kinds of colors (with or without contrasting color edging) that you can have monogrammed with her name or a logo.

Go for the NM torque arm bushing. It's great bang for the buck.

Short antenna looks great.

And a Scangauge is always useful.
