New to the forum.

Hello all I am new to the forum, I have been reading it for a while now and I figured it was time to start posting. My wife has a 2016 countryman, she has a few mods, k&n typhoon, strut tower brace, 17x9 deep dish wheels on 235/40r17. Next mod is Megan dual exit axel back exhaust. Let me know if you have any questions.

Oh, and the color is not too bad either. Not that I am partial.

Thanks guys.
Well to be honest, I had to ask the wife where did she get the idea, she told me,"those are the things that I wanted to change to make the car more personalized for me". those mods are what I would consider a must to any car, requardless on make and model. Those mods typically improve fuel mileage, as well as handling. I will say that finding the mods was a lot harder than I thought it would be, and getting information about the wheels and just finding them was really rough(ruff?)

Welcome, and looks like you caught the mod bug. Looks like you have some poke with those wheels. Pretty aggressive.

Welcome to NAM. My wife also has a 2016 Countryman. Those wheels are great. Where did you get the strut tower brace?

Thanks. Yes, the wife caught the mod bug, and wanted her CM to be different. We have a few more mods to add on, a roof basket and Megan dual burnt tip axle back exhaust. That will have to hold her off for now. I have a few things to do on the ol f250

we love her CM. It's more reliable than my f250, cheaper to work on, and looks cooler. The wheels are my pride on that car, no body is running that big of dish on a CM and posting pics. I spent the better part of 6 months researching to find the max rim size with smallest offset. The strut tower brace was purchased in Taipei City, Taiwan.

Thank you for the information. This is actually our second CM. The first was a base and then we decided to upgrade to a special edition SAll4.

No problem, sorry I can't give you more info than that. I have to find the receipt and translate it to get the name, it will be done today and posted here. This is our first CM as well. We have had it a little more than a year. It's a base, with lots of options. She talks about the awd w/turbo often. I bet it's nice with the turbo.
