Our first MINI Countryman Cooper S

We got our first mini last week 10/18/14. It's going to be my wife's daily driver since its her turn for a new car. The plan is to keep the MINI and will be my sons first car in 6 years. When we got to the dealer last Saturday, we only plan to test drive one but this true blue color got my attention and took her home. It's a 2014 True Blue with sports package. Love the color, wheels and the matt black accents that came with it.

At the dealer when i first saw her.

Nice True Blue CM , looks like the black headlights and the gray "blackline trim " was ordered. Looks great with the Fan wheels.




Looks like you have the gray blackline taillight trims. But do you have the blackline tailights also, they are tinted a bit?

Great, glad you went with those options, most people don't know about them. Looks awesome in the sunlight.

Its the only one on the lot that has this option and plus the last true blue!
I need your idea, will it look good with red mirrors and air duct?

The JCW Chili Red Ducts and mirror will pop against the True Blue, It will stand out a bit since you have blue. On Black and White MINI Countryman models its kind of flow.

If you want to stand out, they will .


You will need to know if you have Power fold in morrior option, that is when you hit the button on the door the mirror fold in on there own.

Sweet thanks will probably consider that. i got a quote on a vinyl wrap for the mirrors and air duct for $150 and for 70 more you get the real deal. thanks again.
