Just like the First Aid Kit, I forgot to order the warning triangle with my new Cooper S. I've picked it up today and guess what? It cannot be mounted under the parcel shelf because....

you guessed it I did not order the mounting brackets. Now wouldn't you think when I ordered the triangle they would have told me that I needed the mounting kit as well. It's unbelievable that we have to buy one in the first place but then to let me buy one without the kit to hold it in place.

Is it just me that finds this unbelievable?

It is a bit ridiculous, even worse is that when you order the brackets you don't get the screws that you need to mount it either!

Your right! When I ordered the brackets, I leaned over the counter to look at the screen and then ordered the screws. Perhaps they have shares in Shell and want me to keep driving 22 miles there and 22 miles back for each one...

Grrrr!

I hadn't realised how complicated it could be. The price list says £13.85 for the triangle. How much more do they want for the brackets (and screws)?

It was a good year ago that I got mine, I'll see if I can find my invoice.....

My triangle is attached with velcro. That's the way it came as stock.

Mine came fitted with a bracket, ordered as factory option along with a First Aid Kit.

I saw this thread and thought, what a good idea. I don't have a triangle/first aid kit/ or jacket as I didn't want them lying around in the boot. But if I can get them mounted under the parcel shelf then I'll get them. So I was in the dealers on Firday and asked the service guys for the relevent stuff. They claim that nothing like this exists. I told them I have heard of it on the mini2 boards, and they said well the internet is always ahead of the dealers but the parts don't exist.

Please can someone give me the parts numbers (and cost if poss) for the bits I need to mount a first aid kit , triangle and jacket under the parcel shelf.

First aid kit fits behind the removable panel on left side of boot (which has a "First Aid" symbol on it when factory fitted), and jacket probably fits behind the one on the right.

oh, thanks for that, is it held by a bracket or does it just rattle around?
