Just bought my first Mini. It's a 2013 Countryman All4S Royal Grey with black top and Citrus package. Looking forward to meeting and learning from forum members. I live in the Pacific Northwest but try to do as many road trips as I can. I also plan to change several things on the car to personalize and make it more prepared for long drives. My first goal is to remove the citrus package and replace with black pieces. Anyone know where I can find how to remove the scuttles and bumper intakes? Also, where can I find parts other than the dealer?
Thanks for all the great replies. I feel welcomed.
Citrus Package = Apparently this was a thing. Basically the mirror caps, signal scuttles, fog light surrounds and a tiny piece in the rear bumper are made of orange plastic. I'm sure it looks great if you like a unique car. It was a $1000.00 option according to the dealer invoice. I bought the car second hand and would like to go back to original black. I'm trying to source original parts but if I can't find them for a reasonable cost, I'll have my son vinyl wrap the orange parts. The car also has orange pin striping that will be removed.
Now, I need to find a bently repair manual so I can remove these parts.
Bently will help but they only do the hardtop, clubman, and convertible. They do share the same engine and most of the transmission. So its a great book to have, maybe the best book on MINI DIY.
