I’ll start with quite a simple one but I have installed a rear parcel shelf mounted brake light for improved visibility, used an old rear fog light I had and wired into the offside brake light.
What have you done?

Fitted aftermarket radiator fan and then 6x9 speaker kits to minis I've owned. Relatively simple to do though
Speakers under the rear seat?

I believe there was a rear wiper kit you could buy specifically for the Mini

I got so miffed pulling the heater apart to get a leaf out of the heater twice last year bought a sheet of 22mm air filter fitted a 1/4 stainless mesh behind the filter and the 3 single wires to hold it in place that are easily removed to clean it. Doesn’t affect the air flow and a bonus of contributing to the noise reduction.
Not had a leaf in the heater yet (nor do I want one either!!) but this solution looks very neat!

Used to get leaves all the time and did a similar filter on the intake mod.

I am overseas at the moment so can only show a picture of the light in the door and not lit up. I will post a photo of it lit up on the floor when back next week.

Wonder if clubby heater intakes are more prone to ingesting stuff because the hose isn't as uphill as the round nose's? Can't say I ever noticed.

I have always thought the scoop was overly large and yes the hose runs parallel to the scoop so a smoother path to the heater.
