Has anyone purchased any of the accessories available for the Mini such as
the cool bag, boot box, ect.? If you have, how is the quality and was it worth the money ? Thanks for the input.

I was curious about the boot box myself.  It looks like it is plastic w/ a removable lid.  The description says it has a non-slip surface on one side.  I'm going to have to put somthing in that spot so my dogs can have a flat suface to ride on.  As is they will fall in that hole behind the rear seat...

The Rubber mats are GREAT...i got them with my original MINI 6 years ago and they're still in great shape!
I was contemplating about getting the cool box since i won a $200 MINI accessories gift certificate from my dealership for dressing my MINI as a hummer for its Holoween Rally and i still haven't used it

I have not had any problems with any of my MINI accessories. I found them all to be well thought out and quality manufatcured.

MINI valve stem caps
MINI boot organizer
MINI saddlebags
MINI glovebox organizer
MINI driving lamps
VDO volt/oil temp gauges offered and installed by MINI
Tail lamps with clear turn signal lenses
Rear fog lamps (not an option at the time of purchase but available as a retrofit several years later)
Clear repeaters (probably more a replacement part than an accessory)

The only thing I was dissatisfied with was a non-MINI oil cap which I found to be the wrong color, wrong font on the logo and when tightened the "MINI" wasn't straight. Turned me off from buying any non-MINI accessories.

Well I received a boot box for my birthday, my wife knows my mini likes, and I
was very dissapointed. It is not very good quality. Just a piece of plastic with a lid that really does not fit very well. It does not fit well in the boot either. I would not recommend this. For $236.00 it should be better quality. We took it back yesterday and Towne Mini was very nice about the return. So I applaud the parts dept at Towne.
