29/04/09 - Totally bling!

Treat the badges on your Mini to some extra bling from the masters of bling at My Beautiful Mini.com. These are only a limited edition, so you need to be quick to place your order and they cost £35.  The badge surround consists of  72 individual Swarovski Crystals set in a black plastic casing and will fit the Mini badge on the bonnet or boot of the car - unless it’s the Cooper S. All you need to do is peel off the backing paper and stick them on.

29/04/09 - See the light

Original rear lights on a Mini are good, but why stop at good when you could go one step better with these Ultra LED versions from Vecchio? These lights are constructed using the highest quality materials; the crystal clear lenses use polycarbonate with bright polished metal inserts. They fit most Minis, are available in black or chrome and are a direct replacement for the standard item and plug straight into the standard plug socket. These lights have been E marked for use in Europe and the hugely improved illumination and visibility provided by the LEDs will make your intentions known to other drivers sooner, therefore providing greater safety. But just as importantly they look well cool.
