I find myself having a $1000.00 credit to buy accessories for my 05 MCS.

It's purple haze with a black roof/black leatherette interior.

Plus Combo 1, 2 & 3.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

First choice would have to be a personalized Whalen knob.

What page is that on in the "MINI Motoring Accessories 2005 You-ification workbook" ?

Ditto the Whalen shift knob! Automotive jewelry. And, he will engrave the name of your car on the knob.

Can't wait till he gets the auto knob developed.

Doug Whalen makes the Whalen shift machine knobs. Click here, I may even get one for my automatic.

Magnaflow exhaust, a Whalen Shift Machine, and a pulley.

Don't waste your time with intakes - they just make noise.

It has to be "MINI" authentic items from the dealer only!

The dealers have the above mentioned catalog that I have been looking over.

AprilWhine · Mar 27th, 2005, 12:38 AM

In that case, I would get floor mats and maybe some driving lights.

How about the invisishield? That's a dealer installed accessory available on page 5 of the configurator. Definately a good investment if it is allowed.

GMINI · Mar 27th, 2005, 02:42 AM

Call your parts department and order a jcw pulley to be put on your already ceramic coated supercharger. Have it installed at the dealership. Have them install a jcw airbox as well.

roof rack or mini-link
r90s
parcel shelf
boot matt
glovebox organizer
ipod kit or aux install
rear saddlebag

anthracite r90s would look hot on a Purple Haze/Black

Except they are very heavy.

GMINI · Mar 27th, 2005, 05:21 AM

that's a mini wheel for ya, bilbo.

DynamiteCandyMan · Mar 27th, 2005, 06:39 AM

whats so great about the whalen knob?

GMINI · Mar 27th, 2005, 05:40 PM

it's custom engraved.

it shortens the throw of the shifter.

it feels great to hold in your hand, on or off.

it's heavier, thus easier to shift.

it's devilishly handsome.

pocketrocketowner · Mar 27th, 2005, 07:25 PM

Sounds like a good downpayment for the JCW Kit.......

DynamiteCandyMan · Mar 27th, 2005, 07:52 PM

yeah i was looking at the polished one, looks very sexy

but how does it shorten the shifts?

GMINI · Mar 28th, 2005, 01:05 AM

It shortens by a.) adding weight to the top of the stick and b.) actually lowering the height of it.

I was looking into one for myself, and test drove my car with obehave's knob

. The money meant a lot to me at that point, and now my new car's got a nifty MC40 knob that I'm quite happy with.

oOoOoOoO ok
