Did the Mini come with a tool kit?

Since I bought my Mini used, I was short a few things (like an owner's manual and a scheduled service/warranty manual). Which got me thinking - what else am I missing? I have the little black bag with the jack and the lug wrench, but was there something else? I know my BMW had a small tool kit, complete with the tow hook eyes and a few other things.

Also, is there a photo somewhere of the various interior trim schemes? I'm trying to figure out in the faux "swirled stainless steel" pattern on the plastic in my car is factory or not.

Have you lifted the boot mat and looked next to the battery? In a 05-06 there is a styrofoam box with a small toolkit. See if yours is still there.

That would be Alloy Patina, and it's the stock factory option for the MCS. Most people seem to replace it with Antracite or something else, but I actually like the AP finish.

There is! How astonishingly cute! What's the spring-clip-thingy for?

If you had X-lites vs. S-lites, you'd use it to pop off the wheel center cap.
