Christmas for my R53
I was on the fence for the longest time on whether or not I was going to keep my Mini ... but a little nudge from the wife and kid was enough for me to decide to keep it.
Sooo ... I finally broke down and bought the passenger side Euro shelf to match my driver's side one. Opened up a ton of room for passenger leg room if there's someone in the back. While I was in there, I stealth routed Lightning cables for our phones through the topside of each one so that we can charge our phones while they're on the shelf instead of sitting in the center console area.
Also, when I bought the Euro shelf I bought a replacement coolant expansion tank since mine decided to split/crack. I put some gold foil around the bottom half to hopefully negate future heat issues with it prior to installing.
Next mod will hopefully be some heated seats if I can find someone locally with matching cloth with the heat connection on the seat (mine sadly do not even though I've been told all 2006 have the connection).
