Xmas gift for convertible owner?

Hey all, I want to pickup something for my parents' new 05 cabrio as they did not purchase any accessories at delivery back in October. I had in mind the wind deflector, but it's a little pricey for right now. Ideas?

A year's supply of windshield cleaner and some good soft towels. I find I'm washing the rear window almost daily (only when top's up of course).

If they collect Mini-related stuff, perhaps a model of the Convertible for their home/office? For those moments when you have to be away from the car.

I know I'm living dangerously, lol. The problem is the road to the kid's school is only partially paved, so the dust either gets inside the car or on the top.

Maybe I should ask Santa for $$ to pay all the fines I may get while driving with the top up.

Hey Mike - Sterling has the wind deflector's for $299 (if you are a member of Roadfly). Pricey but still better than I've seen elsewhere. That's what Santa is bringing for me...

How about a Cabrio model? I've seen a few and they look nice...:smile: I don't know if they where t-shirts or not, but there is a new Cabrio one on the MINIUSA site...:smile:

Chow!

Triple-C accessories will embroider hats & shirts with the Cabrio in whatever color you want. They also have Cabrio pins. I already have my hat, sweatshirt, & pin in BRG The wind deflector is a great idea but I think I'll wait until Spring to get mine.
