Now that is a stunning Countryman, love that red accent.

 

Very nice. Automatic is a bit of a buzz kill though

 

Why? it is quite snappy. I know! Paddles and manual mode is a hoot!

Still excellent red on white, it looks snappy too.

 

After two weeks of sub-zero and snow, I finally got the chance to clean up the Countryman.

It was a fun drive going down, but I had to tiptoe through all the snow melt on the way back.

Full on power wash, then a bucket/hydro clean and dry at the house.

Might have to drive my 07 and get it dirty, this is too clean. , maybe not.

Looks terrific! Did you remove rear headrests? How do they come off?

 

OLD 81, what happened to your chrome mirror caps? looks like they are now Oxford Green. How'd you get them Oxford green! Very cool!

 

Looks really good. I'm sure glad we don't get snow here. I came from North Jersey 13 years ago and am a confirmed non-native Texan.

Thanks,

We took out the rear head-rests, to much blocking of the rear view. You use a small flat screw driver to push the indent, this releases the headrest.

Pull up and out, but put the seat forward or you hit the roof.

Yes, I have the chrome caps in the boxes, when I ordered I wanted body color mirror caps, but exterior chrome line forces chrome mirror caps.

My dealer ordered a set and had them painted using the CM paint codes (part of the deal).... Just another little extra from a great dealer in Colorado.

I really like chrome but mirror caps not so much. My 07 has CF caps or we go back to basic white.

Now I'm thinking some white stripes, perhaps the JCW set, but first tint all the way around.

Introducing swearengen............11 CTM S ALL 4 AB

 

:D woah!! Agressive!!! :D Congrats!!

 

BWAAAHAHAHA! Great name!! I'm watching Deadwood Season 2 as we speak! BTW...I think mine is going to be named "Dexter." I'll see when the CM and I actually meet.

 

We've been watching Dexter, too! You'll need some red highlights on yours!!!

 

Love the front lights on your CM. It looks bada$$!

 

Very nice, swearengen looks great. What tint level did you get?

Any chance your coming down for the MINI5280 Icicle Rally next Saturday?

Don

 

Very nice indeed! Suiting name. I really miss Deadwood. And Rome. And Carnivale.

 

We're watching Rome right now, too!

Icicle rally...........unlikely. Would be fun, tho!!!

 

eeyore! Looks great What did they charge you to install the aero kit? Also, did you ever decide on winter wheels?

 

oops, missed a question above..........I just told them to put on the darkest tint that was legal here.

They didn't charge anything extra for installation of the aero kit..........it was just the price as listed.

I ended up with the Blizzaks, and got them put on the OEM wheels. Of course it has been warm enough to melt everything since then, so no real test of them as yet.

 

Tint looks sweet.

 

Were the driving lights just the $599 listed as well or did they have an install cost at vdc?

I think you'll love the blizzaks! Looks like snow is heading our way the end of the week so I'm guessing you'll see the same

 

Yes, just the cost of the lights, no added costs to install.

 

eeyore...Did you get the sport suspension? Love in black with the aero kit and lights!

 

Very nice the black CM and JCW Aero kit!
Just love it

Did you dealer cut the origional exhaust tips off??

 

Yes, I got the sport suspension, too. Hoping to get the JCW aftermarket installed as soon as it is available.

exhaust tips??? They look like the one I saw at MITM/ MTTS. Do they look different to you?

 

I believe with the JCW body kit for the Countryman, you get a new sport exhaust muffler and tips, I could be wrong.

But your exhaust tips are much larger than a standard ALL4 S or S.

I wonder if they are just a new set of tips cut and welded, guess I will have to ask Jodi or Ed this week sometime.
