Made changes to the new MINI already

Well, I have had my MINI only 12 days and I have managed to make 3 modifications already. I know some of you are thinking, 12 days, what took you so long?

Yesterday I went and had the windows tinted. Only 35%, which is legal in Kansas. When I got home, my package from Classic was on my door step, so I also installed the euro parcel tray and the aux. audio input jack. I decided to put the input jack on the parcel tray in the blank plate area. I think the parcel tray is one of the best additions you can make. It gives you so much more storage space.

Anyway, these 3 changes are the ones I really wanted to do right away. I can't think of anything else I would want to change. Oh, I guess I did make a 4th change. I got the dealer to throw in a glove box organizer with the promise of an all 5 customer service rating. That thing works wonders in keeping all the stuff from flying out at you every time you open the glove box door.

By the way, did I mention how much I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the MINI!!!

I have added new pictures to my gallery if anyone is interested.

Very nice Laurie. Well done!

You may have modded yours in 12 days. I just put down a deposit and I already know what I am going to do when it arrives. Going to oder the items so that they will be here when it arrives.

Here are what I have planned so far;

1. Clear headlight and marker light protection
2. Yellow front fog light protection
3. LightInSight.com flat lense to allow you to see the traffic lights without craning your neck all the time
4. Glove box organiser
5. Green panel filter air cleaner

So far

6. Ian's 2 touch-up windows
