What do you consider to be THE absolute BEST accesory for your MINI??? The ONE you would now NEVER be without? (performance parts arent counted as accessories).

Mine is the Bluetooth (MOT IHF1000). Once you've gone BT you will never go back to using your cell phone any other way in the car.

A close second was satellite radio (but no cigar).

 

Mine is my Whalen Shift Machine (****).

 

Auto-up module. No question.

 

Parcel Shelf.

 

Coco floor mats,red&blk

 

YES!

I laughed at people paying $150 for a silly shift **** until I got one myself. Best and cheapest mod for improving the joy of motoring every single shift!

 

For me, the cheepest and BEST accessory has been the "Glove Box Tidy" by GoMINIGo.com (http://www.gominigo.com/8401.html)
It is incredible, just $20 and it makes your glove compartment actually useful!
It's a no-brainer, trust me, buy it if you don't have it already!

 

CB!

 

Radar detector for sure. any brand, just get a decent one.

 

Blitzsafe adapter and XM radio

 

I CAN ATTEST TO THAT! Giving my history with our badged "friends." No but seriously that and the whalen are the best first investments for a MINI, period. Also just a recommendation on the RD, don't get a Valentine one. They blow big time. My dad and uncle had them, notice I said "had" they aren't as good as everyone said they are. All the V1 does is tells you which way the cops are coming from, really the only thing I care about is slowing down (granted not alot, but to the SL, just to be safe), I don't care if the "friend" is coming at me from a deer stand next to the road, an angle, in my exhaust pipe, or in front of me. I just want to know to slow down!

 

Sportlink. I am a cyclist so my bikes are important and the sportlink is the fly way to cary my other rides!

 

I have only gotten one ticket, but it got ripped up by the cop, after he saw I negative points on my record, but I have gotten alot more safer since then.

 

I have to agree on that, Radar Detector

 

Got to be the CG-Lock (www.cglock.com).

It is hard to believe how much more control you have over the car when you are firmly attached to the seat.

 

I love being suddenly lit up by the cops when I'm going down the road. I qoute one of my favorite movies by Owen Wilson in "Behind Enemy Lines": "Holy crap I'm being painted!"

 

I'll second the parcel shelf. Use it every day.

 

Absolutly the best non performance mod I have

 

Radar detector (V-1 all the way!!) and the Whalen Shift Machine. I use both constantly and they really increase my peace of mind and driving pleasure.

 

Cocomats! They look even cooler now with red LED lights in the footwells.

 

YES! YES! YES!
I can't live without the Whalen Shift Machine. It's not a just shift ****, but a real machine!

 

i-Pod without a doubt!

 

Those illuminated door sills loom pretty cool... Any idea how much it would run getting those installed after taking delivery?


BTW... I am buying my MINI as an accessory for my iPod!

 

wow. that is the prolly the best post i will see all day.

my votes are for the parcel shelf, whalen shift ****, alta CAI and pulley.
(I cant decide.)

 

One ... only one ...and, as stated in first post, performance mods arent accesories. please!
