I'm not big on endorsing products but every so often I'm so impressed by a company or a product that I have to dish out some “props” so to speak.

MINI FINI is a company that solves everyday deficiencies of the MINI in novel ways. They offer everything from cargo/bike carriers, larger cup holders, a decent armrest, and even a sushi tray.

But it's the way they approach the solutions to these issues that makes the products seem so cool. For instance the bike/cargo holder attaches to the frame via two rods that go through the bumper. Obviously it does require some cutting but if you want a sturdy way to carry more it seems to be an ingenious solution.

MINI FINI products will be available in the US at your local dealer starting this summer.
