Thanks. Love the color. My husband doesn't like it though. :( His will probably be white or green. Or cosmic blue.

 

lindseybp, I don't know if you are on the MINIUSA OL but I posted a few images of the ones at my local dealer(MINI of El Paso). I have a buddy in Laramie, WY waiting for her Countryman so I like to taunt her.

 

Spaner, this is a NICE yellow!!! Looks good with the white top and I'm impressed with your white wheels (I'm not brave enough to do it, hee hee).

I also think (despite your comments about the minimal leather on the seats) that the anthracite trim looks well matched to the tobacco, which I wouldn't have guessed.

Enjoy that car!!!

 

utterly fantastic! great color combo.

... and good luck keeping the wheels clean - I've had white rims for 8+ years, and when they're clean, they look awesome. for the other 7 years, 11 months and 22 days, they've just shamed me...

 

great color! do you have any larger pics?

 

Will be picking up our CM this afternoon, I will get some larger pictures then.

I will put them in my gallery versus overloading the threads.

 

but the thread is called "countryman photos"...

 

OK, but large photos that do not fit on my 22 inch screen are really too big.

I will see what I can do.

 

If you're posting from a Mac, Automator is a GREAT way of easily resizing a collection of pictures. Not saying there aren't other solutions on other platforms. This is simply one that I'm familiar with.

 

I took delivery of our Countryman today.

I will say it is a very nice MINI, solid, comfortable and really good on the highway.

Only put 52 miles on it this eve, so more impressions when I have more of a feel.



At dealer before I headed home. This was the first CM delivered at the Northern Colorado MINI of Loveland.




Side shot, a little after dusk.



Interior picture, it is a nice combination of Beige Gravity Leather, Carbon Black with Beige Gravity inserts, we went with the split rail.

We did get a few surprises, lots of extra goodies, CM mudflaps on order.



If you really want to see bigger pictures, go to my picasa album here.... LINK LINK LINK.

(Btw, this is my wife's MINI CM......)

 

Has anybody ordered a Countryman with SPORT SUSPENSION?...
Does it make any difference over stock suspension? Is the car lower with this option?

 

JCW tips are a little bit larger, but I didn't like the design. They are attached to the bodykit instead of being part of larger JCW performance type piping...

 

Here are some pics of both turn signal options. (Base & S)

 

I have the sport suspension, 17" OEM wheels, and ALL4...they go together.

I have been to two MINI events and the CM keeps up and passes everybody...

 

Love the color........ now the waiting is even more painful!! :D

 

Old81- your Countryman looks fantastic! What a great color combination.

What extras or surprises did you get on delivery?

 

Extra options, we did not expect. Still being sorted out. lol!

No, it did not come with a 2.0 BMW engine.

 

Could you please post pictures?
I wonder if there are any height difference with the sport suspension.

 

These are in my gallery and I started a thread in the mods section, but I thought they would be appreciated more here

This is not the final product. I have a new set coming in on Monday to do a better job after learning what NOT to do this time around.

 

Those pics have me debating my color choice. I am/was currently going with Royal Grey and white top with blk 17' wheels but that True Blue is sweet...
The planning continues... thanks for the pics!

 

I've got it on mine. I haven't actually seen mine next to another Countryman, though, so I can't really comment on whether the car is lower.

 

Nice pic! Your car looks great.

 

So far on this forum I think my wife's is the only one that is Pure Red/Pure Red and Chrome Line exterior. She eventually wants to add a checkered graphic on the roof. I asked her if she wants a full roof, just on the sunroof, solid or perforated. She said she didn't know. I told her the solid will still allow light but block the sun. The perf'd will allow light & sun and she won't be able see the graphics from the inside. I said the only downside to the perf is that it won't hold up as well as the solid up here due to our winter snows & ice.

 

Thanks. When I first saw it (the first pure red one I'd seen in the metal), I was...startled by just how orange it is. I've gotten over that now, and while I still think I would have preferred a bluer red (like the Imola Red used on BMWs), I'm OK with it now.

 

Thanks for all the pics! In the process of ordering my Royal Gray ALL4/S with Gravity Polar Beige, Carbon Black Door, Polar Beige Color Line, Sport and Premium Package, 6-sp Manual,18" Turbo Fan Spoke Anthracite... to replace by 03 MINI!
