Last year, Carsoda covered the most popular car accessories for female drivers. Continuing along the same vein, let’s explore some in-demand pop culture car accessories that girls of all ages will love!

Wonder Woman Bobblehead 

Wonder Woman made history when it shattered box office records. Forbes reports that the film earned over $820 million, making it the highest-grossing superhero origin film of all time. It’s no surprise that Wonder Woman-themed merchandise is selling like hot cakes all over the globe. If you’re a fan of the Princess of Themyscira, you can deck your dashboard out with a Wonder Woman bobblehead.

Totoro Sticker

Who can resist the cute, furry giant from Hayao Miyazaki’s critically acclaimed animated film My Neighbor Totoro? The movie is so iconic that even casual anime fans are familiar with it. Totoro may look like a physical creature but he/she is actually a forest spirit. ScreenRant even explains that the word Totoro is the Japanese word for troll, and it technically refers to all the forest spirits featured in the film. Maybe having Totoro's image around will grant you protection from the spirits!

Hello Kitty Bow Dashboard Anti-Slip Pad 

Ladies, here’s yet another pop culture contribution from Japan! Being the most prominent character from Sanrio, Hello Kitty has been the face of the brand for several decades. Because of her wide range of merchandise spanning different industries, Hello Kitty has long permeated mainstream consciousness. You can actually find a complete set of Hello Kitty car accessories, but for now, you can try this Hello Kitty Anti-Slip Pad to keep things in place while driving.

Star Wars Air Freshener/Vent Ornament 

It’s impossible to discuss pop culture without mentioning Star Wars, and the latest installations even introduced new badass women! George Lucas’ space saga has stood the test of time, and is still revered by its devoted fans. And, with the new Star Wars films, the franchise witnessed the birth of a new generation of fans. However, since the franchise has been around for quite a while, its collectibles can cost a fortune with Lottoland stating that the original Stormtrooper helmets can cost as much as $85,000. Naturally, the more iconic objects, such as Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber and Han Solo’s blaster command a higher price. Thankfully, you can get more affordable and smaller versions of Star Wars items. Check out the Star Wars Air Freshener in Carsoda’s collection!

Mickey/Minnie Mouse Mini Cooper Dashboard Décor

Entertainment Weekly recently shared that Minnie Mouse is finally getting her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, an honor she now shares with Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. The Disney pair appeal to all ages. Mickey’s red shorts and Minnie’s polka dot head bow are both unmistakable! Consider this cute dashboard décor to show your appreciation to Mickey and Minnie Mouse!

No matter which MINI model you own, you can find the most trendy and cutest accessories for it from our website.

There are so many different types of Mini running on the streets nowadays. Bigger ones, smaller ones, ones with S, ones without, four-door, two-door, hatchback, Johnny Cooper and convertibles. Someone can get really confused. So let me introduce some basic BMW mini models here so you can have a better idea.

Based on the performance, BMW mini can be classified into these categories: One, Cooper, Coopers and JCW cooper, representing MINI with different power levels.

1.Different mainstream engines: 1.6L (naturally aspirated), 1.6T (turbo) in May 2014 launched new mini increased 1.4T / 2.0T engine, but limited to small mini models only, mini clubman models have been discontinued.

2. Mini One as the basic model (commonly known as beggar version) for the 1.6 naturally aspirated low-power version, with 72KW, 153N.M. Mini Cooper with 1.6L and the new 1.6T low power version, respectively with 88KW, 160N.M and 90KW and 190N.M

Mini Cooper with larger power (sports version) as the 1.6T high power version is with 135KW, 240N.M.

JCW JOHN COOPER WORKS is manufactured by MINI designated conversion plant, just like the Mercedes-Benz AMG version, with higher power and better performance.

3. From the models of different interior configurations, from the simplest to most luxury one, respectively, One, Fun and Excitement.

MINI can be divided into the following models based on the functional performance:

Common: Mini, Mini Clubman, Mini Countyman (suv), Mini Paceman;

Uncommon: BEACHCOMBER (suv), CLUBVAN, VISION, CABRIO;

Coupe: COUPE, ROADSTER.

1. Mini which commonly known as small Mini is a two door classical model. Also included ONE, COOPER, COOPERS, INSPIRED BY GOODWOOD and etc.

2. In 2011, BMW launched Countryman in All4 (full-time four-wheel drive), 4-door, Hatchback, 16.L and 1.6T. Personalized customization should be the biggest selling point for Mini, but there are too many models available sometimes it is very difficult for customers to figure out what the differences are , for example, the difference between Countryman one and 1.6L.

3.Clubman is available in 2-door, left and right asymmetric door, the right side of a half door, hatchback 1.6L and 1.6L T.
