Just picked up a 2009 Mini Cooper Convertible on Tuesday. So far I love it. So fun to drive!

 

Welcome!
Get used to smiling a lot.

 

No pictures yet?
One thing you will be glad you added is the Light In Sight from lightinsight.com. A prism that makes the overhead traffic lights visible so you don't have to turn your head sideway and lean way over looking like a dork.
The next thing you will really want is the wind deflector. You won't believe how much of a difference it makes. Be sure to get the one for the R57, the R52 model won't fit right. It's a bit expensive but well worth it. Ebay is a good source.

Topless motoring is motoring at it's best.

 

Pictures soon. I'll check out the Light in sight. For my marriage's sake, I think I'll have to let the dust settle before dropping $350+ on an accessory. Going back and forth on whether to add bonnet stripes or not.

Thanks for the info!

 

If your 'marriage's sake' could have a comparison ride with and without, she would be leading the charge to get the deflector added to your kit. At highway speed and the windows rolled up, you can actually conduct a normal conversation without having to yell.
