My MA just called and my MINI arrived today and I'm not able to pick it up until next friday. He offered to install any accessories I want in the mean time. One of the only things I really want are the white tail lamps but they are a little spendy. Does anyone have the mudflaps or anyother item you think is necessary.

I got the front mud flaps and although not perfect, they make a difference and I'm definitely glad I have them. They're easy to do yourself.

Before I picked up my MINI, I had the dealer install bonnet stripes. I think they're necessary. :smile:

Mine came without a spoiler, so I had one installed later.

Most of the stuff I added on, I did myself, later.

You're getting floormats, right?

Ya, I will probably just stick with some floor mats. black ones.

Get the black rubber MINI floormats, they're the best!

What about tinted windows? It would be awesome to pick it up with the windows already tinted, dealership quoted me $199.

Rubber Floor Mats, Winter's a comin' and those mats are great.
JCW if $$ is no object.
Cordoba Leather gaiters for shift and brake, cordoba knobs for 'em too.

I'm going to agree with the black rubber floor mats. I just picked up my MINI almost a month ago and got nothing but the rubber mats. At first I thought they scuffed too easily - but a little Macquire's Vinyl/Rubber cleaner and those things clean up in one swipe. I think I will be keeping them.

Black rubber floormats!!! they are the best. Take them out and hose them off.

If it's an S, schedule a roadtrip down to Helix in Philly to get a new pulley. Maybe in a week he'll have the ECU stuff done as well.

I would not take my MINI home until they got the stainless steel skid plate installed. Bottom protection is very important..........it has saved me at least once......
