Union Jack mirror caps followed by an upgrade from V-Spokes to S-Lites, then a GB front license plate.
That's all, I'm not messing with anything else.

While my MCS was still on the ocean, I got the 3rd reverse light which takes the place of that black plastic thing in the rear bumper (if you didn't order rear fogs). I got the auxilary input after the car arrived. It drives you nuts knowing that the parts are sitting in front of you and there is no car to install them on...:impatient

My best MOD was the MCAW. I use it constantly. Followed in a close second is the Euro-tray, and third is the glove box organizer. It is only third because I rarely open the glove box, but at least it is organized.

Checkered rear view mirror and rubber floor mats. Then came the JCW intake. Next, hmmmmm, I'm thinking about a 15% pulley. JCW or not??? Still trying to decide on that. I see quite a few of you have the Alta. Another decision to make!

While I only had to wait a few weeks for my MINI (found the exact car I wanted sitting in my local dealership), I did still manage to have some stuff waiting for the day the car arrived home. First accessory was a glovebox organizer.

My first mod was a pair of MINI driving lights (installed myself). Most recent mod (today) was the grille badge holder (magnetic).

My first accessory on my MCS was a "Crooklock" Locked your steering wheel to the service brake.

It was my 1966 Mini in the early 70's.

regards,
Red

Very first accessory was the S2000 antenna. Luckily the dealer threw in the glove box organizer, euro parcel shelf and rubber mats. Shortly after was tint and clearguard.

well my 04 MCS came with the AUX input already so the first accessories I bought the rubber ebrake and cubby storage tray from outmotoring. Also bought the Shift **** cover from outmotoring. After that I bought some bling Piaa P-9000 driving lamps, Aero grills, and Halo marker lamps....but have yet to install them. Also just bought the ALTA intake and am planning on buying the 15% reduction pulley as soon as Randy Webb responds to my e-mail.
