What else to get

So far I've gotten a tiny Ultrik Antenna, and the Glove Box Organizer. What else is a nice little mod/addition to the Mini thats easy to install. I want the Euro Parcel shelf but I doubt I can install that myself, so holding out a bit. This is for an 05 convertible.

get the auto-up circuit for your windows from Ian Cull (GBMINI). Around $50 and can be installed in under 15 minutes. Get it with the garage door feature that turns your door lock into a garage door opener (as well as unlocking your doors) I love it! The auto up feature for the windows makes things so much easier too!

Just have fun with it!

If you can install the Glove Box Organizer you can install the Parcel Shelf. The Parcel Shelf is one of the best things to install and it is very easy.

Definitely get the Euro Parcel shelf. It's a good little instal that is really easy, and will give you a sense of "I did it myself" accomplishment. It's my favorite (ok, ok, ONLY) interior mod aside from my Fuzzy Dice!!

The glove box thing slid in, I'm reading you need to use a screw driver for the parcel shelf. Only thing I'm good at with a screw driver is fixing a computer. And I'm guessing for the auto-up window thing you need a screw driver too.

Feeling acquisitive? How about a vintage Garfield the Cat tail? Worried about installation of the parcel shelf? Garfield's tail is a snap--just place a portion in the boot and slam the door! Probably more distinctive than a racing stripe and could come in handy at a touchless car wash. If you are concerned that that may be too much to take on at this time I have another vintage item. Quite rare, but very MINI. An orange Union 76 styrofoam ball for your new short antenna. Pre-drilled for convenience. Be the envy of everyone at the track. You don't have to reveal that it is not an official sponsorship ID. Let them take all season to figure it out.

Shift ****.

No shift **** for me. I have a CVT.


Though I just found these, wonder if they are hard to add.

The pedals do require some drilling.

The parcel shelf is extremely easy. You just have to screw in 3 or 4 screws.

You might also think about a leather shift boot from redline.
