Congrats!!! I envy you getting to take the S through it's paces on those
Swedish mountain curves......Awesome!

Here's my new baby.
Picked her up 3 weeks ago and so far it's been a blast.
Coming from a history of Trucks and SUVs this little guy is fun to drive.
CM S All4 with mudguards, mini rook rack with Thule Domestique trays.
The best upgrade so far is complete Huper Optic ceramic tint.

Congrats!!! I like it and those wheels are pretty good too.

This picture cracked me up. The caption should read "...The Countryman stalks its prey..."

Looking great!

Congrats on being brave with the color combination. Now THAT'S a MINI!

Please view my gallery for LOTS more photos including: black OEM sport stripes on Cosmic Blue, R60 MINIdomore hitch, ball/hitch-mounted dual bicycle carrier, towing trailers, accessories, and more!

SONIC is my third MINI.

Great pictures. My Countryman will be Cosmic Blue/Black with white sport stripes. Our Minis will sort of be twins, lol.

Is the Countyman rated for a trailer?

Looks nice. I almost named my new MCS, Sonic, but Mozart just stuck .
Which Euro plate is that? It's really nice.

Rev. MINIstry,

Curious about your front plate. Did you drill into the predrilled holes in the bumber? Or did you use double sided sticky tape? I would like to put my europlate on the front bumper but weighing all my options. Thanks.

At first I used the 5 provided velcro stickers (in various configurations) but the two ends kept un-latching.
I have now used a black plastic mounting frame (it came free with the plate) and have two screws (one in each dimple) and one sticker in the center to prevent rubbing.
It works well for me.

My surf blue CTM-S, "Smurfette", got her stripes this weekend. I'm thrilled with how they turned out - it's very Austin Powers looking.

Whoa! Now that is cool!

That do take me back. Well done!

Sealy - Who's checking the attic for his low-rise bellbottoms and granny glasses. Groovy!

Love 'em!
Kind of "Dr. Suessey" to me

Living in very rural Maryland, in a very small neighborhood, I never expected to see another, other than my own, Mini...Well, just up the street now resides a Countryman, in what appears to be Pure Silver w/ black roof....VERY NICE

2010 HzB/Clubgirl, fairly loaded, much loved

Got our bumper guard from aesthetic creations today, took a few pics with my iphone:

Just added some paint trim...CR Roof Rail, CR Fender Panel Trim, CR "4" in ALL4.

You want to tell us anything about this? Or, did I miss something?

Thanks!

just sharing pics, just a thin sheet of vinyl not very thick like the bumper guards for my MCS. Easy to install and I think adds a nice bit of visual contrast to the rear of the vehicle.

Should keep the bumper scratch free on supermarket trips.

looks great. I work in Hudson County and want to see it cruising down Kennedy Blvd.

I just ordered one, great idea!

I assume you mean the bumper guard? I looked at the site and did not see it. Could one of you two secret keepers post a link? Please?

Edit - - -

Ahh, I found it! http://www.aestheticreations.net/countryman.html

Sealy - who's a little bit off this morning. Maybe a glass of Pure Orange juice would help?

Just ordered the bumper protector...

I couldn't find it on the site-thanks for the link, Sealy

Looks great. How difficult was the installation?

The bumper on my Clubbie has gotten scuffed up quite a bit over the past three years, the worst time from some idiot's runaway grocery cart. GRRRR. So, from experience I can say that anything that protects the bumper would be worthwhile. There's something about the height of the MINI bumpers that seems to attract dings.

oh my gosh... wish I had known about these earlier! As I was waxing my baby yesterday I noticed some marring there on the bumper platform that wouldn't come off. I think it's from the bike rack we put on to take bikes to Florida last week. I'm going to order one now to prevent any further injuries!! Plus, it looks pretty dang cool!
