So, what is your MINI getting for Christmas?
We had an early Christmas at our house tonight. Pip got the Connolly Hide Food and Leather cleaner he wanted. (of the Rolls Royce Connolly variety).

My mom and dad have hinted that their new grandcar is getting new urban mats and a MINI union jack pillow. And my aunt sent a remote control Clubman in a can that she ran across.

Is your car getting anything for the holidays?

See, I knew when I started this thread that mine wasn't the only MINI with packages waiting under the tree!

Jen...really glad I decided to take him on the trip!

Just got some Prima products waiting for my new car that should be here after the new year. Contemplating a whole bunch of other things like rims for either snows or use stock on snows and get new for other, stubby antenna, plate holders (where do you get the no drill front ones?), boot cover (dog hair is awful to get up).... so far that's all. I also want to get shiny new plates for my new car (current over 10 yrs in NE snow and no garage) but have to figure out the easiest way to do so since I want specialty plates and only have a 7 day transfer period in MA. So if car sells and have to wait for the car longer than that the plates must be turned in, and dealer can't get specialty....trying to figure it all out.

I just kept my plates even though I sold my cars over a month ago. I didn't unregister the cars because I didn't want new plates. I need to turn in my second set of plates, but I haven't felt like braving the DMV. lol

Nothing planned for xmas but a FESAutoSport might be ordered soon. I'm hoping some MINI vendors will have boxing week sales and I will see what else is available.

The MINI is getting all kinds of stuff this season (and some has been here for awhile..) but installation on everything will be staggered a bit, some now and some springtime.

ST Coilovers
H&R Spacers
Konig Feathers 16x7
10" Subwoofer w/ custom box
New Amp
Maybe a CG Lock.

Go Badges for front and rear, Craven iPhone/GPS mounts and Eyeshades Sun shade. late January will get boot/bonnet stripes.

Not only is it fun to drive but it's fun to customize as well!
