Here is the Stubby antenna from ECS. It measures approx. 3.5”.

Thanks. It's more sculptural, but taller. If anything, it probably provides better reception than the MINI Sport Aerial Rod, but it's not as cute as MINI's stubby alternative IMO.

I went with the mini sport aerial (and CF aerial cover) from SCP Automotive. They have two size options, the 8cm, which I have, and the 3.5cm, which I thought looked too short - even just from an aesthetic perspective. This is a pic I took after installation:

I feel like I'll be the last person in the world who prefers the full aerial.

Me too… a Little car with a BIG antenna to show the attitude matters!!!

Unless you count my subtle, but expensive, non-ICE-skeuomorphic scoopless hood, the only mod I've made to my SE is installing MINI's 4.25-inch Sport Aerial. I think it's the perfect size--I like it more than the satellite bump without any radio antenna like some cars have.

I also switched to the Sport Aerial. My husband thought it was dumb to get but I like it. It’s the only modification I made……I love my ‘Rita’ just the way she came!!!

Just wanted to chime in on some of this "bins" that fit in the door handles. Since the built-in wireless qi charger in the armrest is nothing but an oven for your phone, I found myself constantly needing a place to rest my phone (and wallet). So these looked like a perfect fit.

I ended up finding these on Amazon that are already felt-lined (wouldn't want my phone rattling around), and they have no pre-attached double sided tape (I didn't want sticky stuff stuck in case I wanted to remove.

Happy to report that they fit excellent. They sort of snap in and don't rattle/etc and the felt lining is nice!

So this fits in the 2023 Mini SE?

Taking a cue from a post in the "Deliveries" thread---what are accessories you found particularly useful? Here's one---bins that fit in the door handles so you can put stuff in them. It keeps things close at hand.View attachment 15076

Mentioned several times in this and other threads, I got the door handle pockets and now I’m upset (mostly with myself). In an otherwise upscale interior, these bins felt (by far) like the cheapest part of the car. I chose not to adhere them until I was sure I wanted them in there permanently, and in the course of leaving them loose over the weekend, they popped out on both sides on more than one grab. The corners are sharp, and they easily marred the hard plastic door panels at the front and rear of the grab handle. I’m not sure I can hide the damage. I hadn’t yet found the need to store anything in them.
