What's Your Mini Getting for Christmas?

What's under the tree for your Mini this year? Kirby has been very good little car this year. So far Santa is bringing...

Blackjack cupholder coasters (GoBadges.com):


Blackjack key cover (GoBadges.com):


MiniBee Build a Badge grill badge holder (ebay):


New scuttles (ebay - and they went on sale after I bought them. Doh!):


And the big one - some new-to-me 17" gloss black/polished lip Rota RBs with Kumho Ecsta AST tires:


What a good Mini!

A couple of gobadges for the grill, here.

We are hoping that a Santa will bring union jack cupholders and a stubby antenna with a union jack on top.

Mine is getting left in my garage in warm SoCal while I spend christmas with family in frigid Ohio.

He also got a new $248 registration sticker for his birthday/christmas.

I also think my mom bought me the NAM calendar for one of my presents

My advice would be to just plasti dip the mirror caps as its very easy and only costs 7/8 bux with tax. Better than the 75/100 bux to buy different ones.

Mine has.. or is getting a Riss Racing Catless Downpipe. Other than that, prolly not much else. Only had the car for 3/4 months and already bought numerous things for it

Mini x-mas gifts

Mine gets gifts all year, like premium fuel, driven daily, (parked for the winter months though) regular cleanings, top notch maintenance and a garage to park in every night. What more can a car ask for

One and the same. If you do a NAM search on Plastidip you'll see all the things people do with it. It's a popular mod option since it's entirely reversable.

It's been Christmas since May when I got him! BUT... I think a new antennae (stock replacement) and perhaps some checkered lug nut covers will be in the stocking. Taking my friends JCW on a road trip to the Hill Country.
