Anyone have any experience with the Chrome Door Handle Cup Inserts from Mini Mania? How do they look? How about the Custom Carpet Trunk Mat from TVA? Is it worth it? Anybody buy the Mini Samosonite Luggage? What has been the best "looking" aftermarket product that anyone has added to their Mini?

 

The ever-so sparkling BVLGARI (soon to be shipped) would be a good candidate for those chrome door handle cups and I join Wedge in this posted question to all? Has anyone purchased, installed, etc. and any photos???

 

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the BVLGARI?

 

Its the name of Sparkles baby!!!

 

Pardon my ignorance, but what is the BVLGARI?


THIS IS BVLGARI

My friend got the luggage for Christmas and he loves it. I personally don't go anywhere so I don't think I will ever get it. It apparently fits really well in the boot though.

To be honest the small thing that made the biggest improvement cosmetically on my car in my opinion so far has just simply been switching the sidemarkers to clear. The orange just didn't do it for me against the silver.

 

Hiya L. I thought you went to work everyday????

 

I just received my first order from MiniMania , everything came but the door handle inserts (back ordered). I think they are a great idea. Has anyone installed these yet? I would like to know how well they stick and how they look, especailly on Pure Silver.

 

Door Handle Inserts on back order: Hmmmm, someone must have installed them by now and will give us some feedback. Do they look nice? Do they work well?

 

Why sit on backorder with Minimania when you could get them now via Rspeed??

What do you mean by "sidemarkers". I will have a SG Mini soon, and if they don't look good on silver, they probably won't look good on SG either.

Thanks.

The amber and red markers and lights look awful on Silk Green. I replaced the side markers and rear tail lamps with clear lenses. WOW!! What a difference!! (I will post pics soon so you can see). I got my clear lenses from RSpeed, and the rear light kit from Helix13.com.

The coolest mod I have done is probably the European driver's side parcel shelf. The next would be my homemade Hot Pocket. I styled it like the TVA one, but used a lightweight craft foam. It only cost me about a few bucks and looks so much better than the TVA ugly black vinyl. It is my sunglass keeper.

The other cool item I've found is a round, neoprene CD holder. They sell them at Dollar Stores here in NJ in some great colors and they fit fabulous in the side door pockets. I bought 3 of them and have organized my tunes into categories (all-time favorites, new music, music by women). I found them in red, burgundy and purple.

 

I bought one of the red shorty antennas from minicooperparts.com and I love it!

I forgot about the shorty antenna. Got mine from the local Honda dealer for the S2000.

Thank you very much. My order is in. Hope they attach with something more reliable than double-back sticky tape.
