Whats your FAVORITE Accessory?!

Had my 2010 Clubman for almost 3 months now, and am crazy for All Things Mini!! If you are anything like me (obsessed), you couldnt stop at just the car. In these 3 months Accessories I have gotten: Checkered side mirror caps, checkered rear mirror cover, checkered side scuttles, checkered JCW floor mats, "Rubbish" bag, and Bulldog Pillow for the back. Fairly certain I am not finished.

As much as I LOVE all of these accessories, I think my face (for now) are the floor mats!! They are so well made, and I get to see them while Im driving!

Now tell us whats your absolute favorite accessory and why?!

I think my favorite accessory is...the key fob (that counts right?) I wear my keys on a clip, clipped to my belt loop every day. When people see my key fob, I always get questions on it; the way it looks, the shape etc. Someone said it looks like something related to star wars or something, another person said "i figured a cool key like that would be to a mini cooper or something", and someone else just saw the winged mini symbol at a distance on the key, and mistook it for a Bentley key. Unfortunately, I had to correct this individual and inform that I didn't in fact drive a Bentley, but then I thought...I much prefer to drive my MINI than a Bentley

Yes! The key fob is definitly cool, which reminds me..a friend made a checkered key ring holder for my keys and fob. Its a fabric loop that can go around my wrist, or be hung on a door ****...very handy and matches all my other cool stuff!

I don't get to use them personally, but the two 7inch monitors in the headrests keep my daughter out of trouble.

One of the best perchases for me.

My favorite accessory is the iPod adapter that's plugged into the CD changer harness. Second place would go to my Escort radar detector. Third (or maybe first) are all the JCW options on the car. But I suppose those aren't really accessories.

I had all the same checkerboard stuff and more on my '06. I even had he Checkerboard earrings, socks and a watch for MINI events! On my new MCS I'm doing a different look so haven't got much yet. So far my fave is the M7 CF shift ****.

My favorite is the turbo. I guess that would be considered an accessory since its an option......

Ipod Adapter

What brand do you have: Grom, Blitzsafe, DICE?

Where is the factory CD Changer harness...right side or left in the cargo area?

Thanks for your time.
