Grocery Bag Holder
Grocery Bag Holder
This is one of those little low-tech items that outperforms every expectation I had - I wish I'd had one hauling family groceries in the Minivan all these years, never mind now that my kids are in college and I'm not hauling so many groceries around in the Mini Cooper. It's very sturdy, and worth every cent the first time you realize you aren't picking up spilled items all over the boot!!

I had a bit of disappointment today when my new hitch arrived - it was not the correct model for my car.
In retrospect, I looked back at the ordering page and found that it was my mistake but I could see why. I searched for a hitch for a Mini-S R53 and it took me to a 1001 which is for a non-S R50. The model numbers for the hitches and the cars they match up with were at the very bottom of the page, which I didn't see when ordering. It would have been very helpful if the drop-down menu had not just the hitch model number (1003) but the car model as well (R50, R53...) to help avoid this confusion.
It cost me return shipping and another week or more of wait. Not fun.

I purchased a trunk latch and back door logo. The website gave me confidence I had purchased the correct parts. The delivery was super fast, and the parts fit perfectly - the replacement was done in less than an hour (mostly cleaning the old adhesive). Excellent service, high marks!

R53 S: 2002-2006 MINI Cooper S Hatchback

Synopsis: R series explored
The Cooper S version of the base model R50 was released under a separate R series designation - R53.

R53 S

Like its base model counterpart, the R53 S is a two door MINI with a rear hatch and front and rear seats. The name Cooper S is used for the sportier version of the base model Gen 1 MINI, which in turn comes from the involvement of John Cooper and the Cooper Car Company. The Cooper heritage was further emphasized with the John Cooper Works (JCW) range of tuning options that are available with the MINI.
