One of the appeals of buying a new MINI is your ability to personalise it – there are rarely two MINIs alike on the roads, such are the number of options and accessories you can add to make your MINI your own.
But the choices are vast, with some great value packs that enhance your MINI without the need to tick multiple boxes on the options list.
Here’s our guide that tells you all you need to know about the option packs you can add to a MINI Cooper.
