Pat's Mini Cooper

[MiniMpi]

Opened up a thread for Pat for his beautiful '00 Mini Cooper in BRG.
He can tell ye all about it here.
I went down to him today to fit the lovely all Black leather Mpi type airbag steering wheel that used to be on my Mpi.
Very glad it's gone to a deserving Mini!
Pat' Cooper has full black leather seats and door trims. The Cooper came with a Black and cream steering wheel, cream gearstick and gaitor.
We changed the steering wheel tonight and he's getting a black gaitor for the gearstick and he's putting on a 'Cooper sport 500' type alloy gearstick.
This will really suit the black interior way better.

I’ll post some pictures when I have the wagon out again, cleaned and polished.That car gets better treatment that I do. It’s in a heated garage and only has about 10 or 12 outings over the year. What should/can I be doing to preserve the vehicle and keep it in pristine condition?

Any suggestions as to where I can go next?
