Very nice looking Mini and if you want to keep the rain off your electrics whilst driving behind lorries etc on the motorway, then you should fit the ignition weather shield that it would have come with when new. If it was missing when you bought it, then you can pick one up here plus the extra fixings too: - Any colour you like: - www.minispares-online.co.uk/?search=weather+shield&s=Search |

Oh and this is how it looks fitted to my Mini: -  And not fitted (so you can see where the attachments go on the rocker cover) in an older snap prior to my engine getting a bit of a clean up with 'Gunk' and the rotting old bulkhead soundproofing still in place: -  |

You can buy glove boxes at shows that screw onto the back of the dash.
Mind you some people swear by an ice cream tub.... depends how much you want to spent!

They are great fun in the snow and that's one of the reasons why they won the Monte Carlo Rally 4 times outright.
