Top 5 Best MINI Cooper Accessories

If you're looking for a unique way to customize your MINI Cooper, check out these LED projector welcome lights. Serving a similar function as puddle lights often found on luxury vehicles, these welcome lights project the MINI logo onto the ground when you open your car's doors. Although they're mainly for aesthetics, they are functional by illuminating the ground around your door, making entry in and out of your vehicle a little safer at night—who knows what you might accidentally step on in the dark!

Best of all, it doesn't take a lot of effort to install these lights. No drilling or wiring is necessary, simply unplug your old door lights and plug in the new units. The result is a bright projection thanks to LED chips, which should have a long life. Just keep in mind that each order comes with two lights, so if you have a four-door MINI Cooper, you'll need two sets.

This accessory fits the 2009-2020 MINI Cooper, 2009-2020 MINI Clubman, 2010-2020 MINI Countryman, and 2012-2020 MINI Paceman.

Customizing your car is a reflection of your personality, so if you prefer something subtle, take a look at this recommendation. These emblem rings fit around your MINI Cooper's door lock knobs, adding the iconic Union Jack flag design to your interior. The inner opening diameter on these emblem rings measures 0.63 inch and overall dimensions are 2.56 inch by 1.00 inch by 0.13 inch.

Constructed from steel, the black and white finish gives this accessory an OE appearance, as if it came straight from the factory assembly line. Installation is really straightforward, since these emblems come with double-sided tape on the back. Just peel off the protective layer and stick it onto your door panel by the door lock knob. That also means if you ever want to remove them, it won't be a hassle. Just make sure you have some sort of cleaner to get rid of any sticky residue that is left over.

These emblem rings fit various MINI Cooper models, but make sure to check the product listing for your specific vehicle.

Here's another subtle accessory that can upgrade your car's exterior appearance. If you're not a fan of the factory antenna on your MINI Cooper, consider this two-inch option that fits 2001-2020 model year MINI Coopers. It's designed to match the factory base perfectly, so it doesn't even look like an aftermarket part. The stubby antenna is machined from billet aluminum and is designed, machined, powdercoated, and boxed in the U.S. The exterior boasts a durable black texture that won't fade, break, or chip.

Installation couldn't be easier—simply unscrew your old antenna and screw in the new one. It uses corrosion resistant hardware, so you don't have to worry about the threads getting damaged over time. Besides having a sleeker appearance, you may want a stubby antenna so you don't have to worry about clearance issues with garage doors or if you're planning to install a roof rack on your MINI Cooper to expand its storage options.

Reception shouldn't be an issue, but the company stands behind its product. So if you have any issues with reception after installing the stubby antenna, feel free to reach out to them for a quick and easy return.

It may happen over the span of years, but direct sunlight beating on your car's interior can cause some serious damage. Since it happens so slowly, you may not even notice the deterioration of your seats, dash, and other interior components as a result of constant exposure of harmful UV rays. If you value your MINI Cooper and want it to be in the best shape possible for years to come, invest in a sunshade. You'll especially want one if you often park outdoors, even if it's just overnight.

This recommendation is a genuine MINI product, so fitment shouldn't be an issue. You should however, still check to make sure your specific vehicle is on the list. This sunshade is foldable, so you can easily store it when it's not being used. The front side of it sports a small MINI logo in the center.

Thick and well made from quality materials, it'll do the job of blocking out the sun and protecting your interior, while keeping the cabin cool when your car is parked.

This recommendation is another small accessory that adds a little color to your interior. Sporting a red/blue Union Jack flag design, these coasters are made from high quality and flexible soft silicone and fits your front cup holders. It matches the MINI Cooper's theme nicely and will fit most second-generation MINI Cooper models with some exceptions. So double check the list for fitment before adding them to your cart and checking out.

For some MINI Cooper models, these coasters will have a snug fit inside the cup holder. Thankfully, the company thought ahead and incorporated a small raised tab on the surface that comes in handy when you need to take the coaster back out. Not only do these coasters add more personality to your cabin, they're a great way to protect the bottom of your cup holder from normal wear and tear.
