Glad to hear everyone is ok. That looks like some collision. Good to see the countryman takes a hit like a champ.

 

Hilarious.

 

Thanks, Fredo- I went out for a "getting acquainted" kind of drive along Panoramic Hwy and Fairfax-Bolinas Rd, and couldn't help but stop for some pictures along the way. As good as the pic opportunities were, the drive itself was easily more impressive- those are two of my favorite roads in the county.

Countryman S all4 - Canadian spec (wife's car)
ZOD - Lights Package, ZOE - Sound Package, ZWW - Wired Package, ZWX - Premium Package, LEA-PL - Parallel lines Red/Carbon, 322 - Comfort Access, 4AA - Anthracite Roof liner, 507 - PDC, ZSP - Special order (for the alarm system), 302 - Alarm

We don't get the compass homelink mirror or the alarm as an option, it has to be special ordered :(. Wife also didn't want the sport package :(

 

Just ordered ours, Can't wait to receive it. The mods are gonna be stacked sky high before I take delivery. :P

 

I like the lower black bumper fascia/lip...did that come standard or is it something after market......

 

really nice pictures

 

The light white owners are really "lighting" up this forum, lol. I hope to join this esteemed group soon. I placed an order for a custom light white countryman last month. It's being produced as we speak and scheduled to be delivered at the end of the month. Can't wait!!!

 

That's the JCW front lip that comes with the whole JCW kit. The piece by itself is my favorite part of the whole kit, and it's available for ~$200 by itself. When I ordered my CMS, I negotiated to have the lip installed for free upon delivery- and I love it.

 

I'm in! Got "Max" on 5/20 and LOVE HIM!!!

 

Here is my wife's after a good detailing. We just picked it up yesterday.

I love black; but, I do not have the time to keep it nice. I guess I will need to keep the roof nice because everyone can see it.

 

Here is one more

 

Cool, another TEXAS Light White!

 

I still want to get a 15-20% window tint and I'm wondering if i can get the black headlight housing from the dealer...not sure if thats one of those things you have to order the car with

 

after a bath

 

Good to know the CM takes a hit like a champ

 

Personally, I can't thank WestonJCW enough for posting those pictures! I feel so relieved to see that the MINI handles collisions the way safety ratings report they do. So glad the driver was okay and that gorgeous MINI is back on the road looking mighty fine!!

 

Just got back from the dealership, ordered my Light White CMS. Hadn't even seriously considered MINI or the Countryman until Sunday. I was close to buying one off the lot, but thanks to this forum, I took the deep breathe, and ordered one from the factory exactly how I wanted it. You saved me from years of cursing my halogen headlights!

I'll be "right sizing" from a BMW 750i, so this will be a drastic move, but I'm excited. The best car I ever owned was a white '86 VW GTI and this is by far the true successor to it's fun, practicality, smart design, and purpose.

Just 10 short weeks to go!

 

you could get new housings, but I believe they are 350+ each (or maybe that was the set, I forget). Plus labor. Or you can search for the "joey mod" and with a hair dryer and can of paint, accomplish the same thing for $5.

 

Traded in our '11 PR/PR Base 6MT for a '12 S All4 LW/BL yesterday and love it.



With my husbands '12 R56


Transferred everything over that would fit. The tint and stripes are set up to be done in about a week, can't wait to see how it looks then.

 

Nice Mini!! I know a good tint guy, and he is mobile too.. Lets go drive around and show off our countryman's! Black headlights are from dealer, btw.

Ill post pics soon of my ride!!

 

I can't wait to post pics if mine!!! Hopefully end of next week :D

 

Brought X home two weeks ago. Since then, had him tinted and stripes installed. Sorry for the lousy iPhone images...will get him waxed and find our real camera soon...Until then:







p.s. Thanks to Rktcyntst for pointing me to great resources!

 

MSPRO - are you enjoying having more power with your S?
