Something about the MINI Cooper’s shape is just so…cute. Fun. Adorable. It’s perky, it can come with stripes, and gosh, there’s just something about it that makes you want to cover it in all sorts of little accessories and decorations. Luckily, there are many ways you can do just like that! Let’s look at a few different ways to decorate your MINI Cooper in your own personal style.
Different Ways to Decorate Your MINI Cooper
There are generally two broad categories of MINI Cooper car accessories and decorations that you can buy: those that MINI sells and those sold by third-party companies and creators. Of course, we’re a MINI dealership, so we’d like it if you stuck to the official decorative merchandise. However, we have to admit that the decorations you can find on Etsy, Pinterest, and other third-party sites are extremely fun, cute, and expressive.
Whether you choose to go with official stuff or not, there are a couple of different ways to decorate your MINI Cooper.
Add Fun Little Things
If you’re not sure how to make your MINI Cooper your own with decorations, start small. Pick something a colorful floor mat that you can only see if you sit in the car’s front seats. You could also choose something like an official MINI door lock cap, which comes in checkered flag print, Union Jack print, and six other styles. You can also find practical things like car trunk organizers, and while though are extremely useful, they’re not the best items for customizing your car to fit your personality.
Those are some of the official MINI merchandise options, but there are other small, third-party or aftermarket items that you could use to decorate your car’s interior or exterior. Many of the mass-produced aftermarket decorations have Union Jacks on them because the MINI Cooper is a famously British car. Some of these decorative accessories include steering wheel covers/stickers.
Then there are the small accessories that come from places like Etsy and Pinterest. If you type in phrases like “MINI Cooper decorations” into those sites’ search bars, and you’ll find things like leather key fob covers, flowery steering wheel covers, and accent decals to artfully cover your MINI’s steering wheel, air vents, and other interior components.
Overall, these smaller decorations give your car’s interior some pizzazz without screaming anything from the rooftops. They can be good choices if you prefer smaller personal touches or have a rather limited accessories budget.
Get Bigger with Exterior Décor
If you don’t want to stop at small interior decorations, you can find some larger ones to put on your car’s exterior. These include official MINI accessories, like MINI black front headlight rings that help your car look as sporty as possible. But many of the really fun accessories and decorations come from aftermarket sellers and individual sellers in places like Etsy.
Some of the aftermarket decorations include Union Jack door handles and rearview mirror covers, as well as decorative gas tank covers that come in multiple prints, such as Union Jack and checkered flag prints. There are also semitransparent sunroof stickers with Union Jack stickers that announce your MINI’s provenance.
While the aftermarket décor can be fun, we understand if you don’t want to cover your car in Union Jack. That’s where exterior accessories from Etsy, Pinterest, and other ecommerce corners of the internet come in. On those sites, you can find things like stripe decals to put on your MINI Cooper’s hood, roof, and doors. You can also find quirkier decals, like a MINI logo with a paw print in the middle of it or a Peace Love MINI Cooper decal. These accessories keep things light and fun while also helping you express your preferred style.
Go All Out
You don’t have to keep your designs small. You can contact a company like WrapStyle, which will create a custom vehicle wrap for your MINI Cooper. You could pick a fun, geometric wrap or a whimsical one with pastel colors and flowers, a solid custom color, or a design based on something licensed like Pokemon. This type of decoration is much louder than the two previous categories of décor. But that’s okay. It’s fine to go big if that’s what fits your personal style.
