The Best Mini Cooper Accessories
Compact, responsive, and economical, Mini Coopers are simply awesome. Not only are they great on the road, but they have a really unique look that a lot of people adore and are generally pretty easy to customize. That's why we were thrilled to discover that there are tons of awesome accessories for adding some tasteful bling to our Mini Coopers. We decided to round up the best accessories, so we searched for options that were high-quality, fairly priced, and well-integrated into the Mini Cooper aesthetic. One of our favorites was a steering wheel emblem, which adds sparkly bling to your interior. It's a really fantastic way to add an affordable flair to your vehicle since it just sticks right onto the wheel. Then, for those looking to really stand out on the road, we recommend the mirror cover caps from Topteng. They offer a wide selection of color and style options and we found them to fit just right. For more of our in-depth reviews and suggestions, read on.
LHEVEN Diamond Steering Wheel Sticker
Glitzy and glamorous
Perhaps the most important part of your car to accessorize is your steering wheel. With it being the part of your car that you’ll be using the most, shouldn’t it look extra stylish? While there are a lot of different ways to deck out your steering wheel, using stickers is one of the easiest and most affordable options to do so. We love this snazzy steering wheel sticker from LHEVEN as it’ll be perfect for adding some bling to your Mini Cooper. This sticker is strong and durable so you can ride fashionably for years to come.
Pros:
- It has an adhesive on the back, so installation is as simple as removing the paper backing and sticking it on.
- The price is low and it doesn’t leave any residue behind, so you can always remove it without a problem.
- We love how the shape fits nicely around the Mini Cooper logo on the steering wheel. It almost looks as if it were an original part of the car.
Cons:
- You have to press it firmly into the steering wheel to get it to stick, which (obviously) makes the horn blow.
Topteng Checkered Mirror Caps
Give your car some personality
It’s all well and good to decorate your car’s interior, but giving the exterior some love should be a priority as well. An entire paint job can be pretty pricy, but there are much cheaper (and simpler) ways to add a little color to your Mini Cooper. These checkered mirror caps from Topteng are an easy and affordable choice to give your car some flair. Made of flexible automotive-grade plastic, these mirror caps are built to withstand even the harshest of weather conditions. Better yet, it doesn’t get any easier to install than these caps: simply remove the red tape covers and stick them over your mirrors. But don’t rush – make sure you have everything properly aligned before you seal things into place. After you’ve got these checkered mirror caps installed, checking for oncoming cars will finally feel fashionable.
Pros:
- Although it’s fairly durable, the material is quite thin. That way, it won’t make your mirrors look bulky.
- Topteng offers several different designs, including the Union Jack and even a bubble-gum pink option, so you can choose the option that matches your personal style.
Cons:
- These are only suitable for Mini Cooper models that have Auto Powerfolding Mirrors, not those with manual-folding mirrors.
Charminghorse Hood and Trunk Vinyl Decal Stickers
The perfect way to spice up your ride
When cruising down the highway, it can often feel like driving along a racetrack. A lot of us have envisioned driving around in a car with racing stripes, and with these striped decal stickers from Charminghorse, you finally can. Made of high-quality vinyl, this sticker set includes striped decals for both the hood and trunk of your car. When adhered, these decal stripes will give your Mini Cooper a nice sporty look.
Pros:
- We love how these simple decals can entirely transform the look of the car. They instantly add a sporty style.
- The adhesive is super sticky, so they last a long time. We figure these stickers can last at least five years, though we wouldn’t be surprised if they lasted even longer.
Cons:
- It will require significant patience and care to make sure everything is lined up properly during the installation. The adhesive is sticky, so if it sticks to itself, the entire strip can be ruined.
MINI COOPER All-Season Front Floor Mats
Great for collecting unwanted moisture
Car floors get dirty quickly. With our shoes stepping all over the place and tracking dirt and grime in every nook and cranny, cleaning sometimes seems like an insurmountable task. One way to help protect against the catastrophe of a filthy car is to use the all-season floor mats from MINI COOPER. These rubber floor mats are made with vertical grids to funnel moisture so all those loose fluids that drip off your shoes in muddy or snowy weather won’t seep into your Cooper’s carpeted bottom. Better yet, in the event your coffee takes a tumble out of your cup holder and onto the floor, these mats will ensure the liquid stays on the mat where it can later easily be taken out and hosed off.
Pros:
- We were impressed by the weight and thickness of these, which help provide a rubbery cushion to the floor.
- These fit nicely in just about every model of Mini Cooper, so you don’t have to hunt for the right size and dimensions.
- They have a clip that does a nice job of preventing them from sliding around.
Cons:
- The heavier weight means taking them out for washing is a bit more cumbersome.
