Photo request: Surf Blue + side stripes?

Hello all!

I'm in the final stages of configuring my dream Countryman before ordering, and was just curious to see if anyone had some photos of their Surf Blue countryman with the side stripes (in either color). Or, if nothing else, photos of a Surf Blue with any stripes would be appreciated.

Thanks for reading, and I can't wait to get my MINI and join the family.

And just so you can compare, this is how I picked it up, bonnet stripes only. I had the dealer switch it to the sport stripes, bonnet, boot and sides.

So which came first? The smurf blue house or the smurf blue car?

Joking aside, that looks great! Thanks for sharing. That's the exact configuration I'm looking at for the exterior of my MINI.

Mojito, jenks, your CM's look rad. If my current ride wasn't blue I'd definitely go with surf blue. I'm leaning towards ordering silver or royal grey

Are the side stripes an after-market addition or something done at the dealer? I don't remember seeing that option in the on-line configurator.

Thanks!

The house was first, almost didn't even show it to my wife as the MLS listing was really bright, and she doesn't like blue lol. Now we have a smurf blue house, smurf blue car, and 3 different teals inside the house

The sides are part of the "sport stripes" and I believe only the bonnet stripes are listed in the accessories of the configuration website. But you MA can put them on your order, or do it when the car comes in. The sport stripes have the bonnet, boot, sides and roof, which are all sold separately. So you can do any combo of them. Sold in black, white or red. The killer is the installation on them. MINI wants a fortune, so you might due like I did and negotiate the labor into the sale price.

That settles it! I am going back to the dealer for sport stripes, side, back and bonnet! White for me though, to match my white roof.
