Got a few pics in my gallery....I've done a few more mods but haven't gotten around to take any pics. I've basically taken out all the chrome and blacked it all out. Looks pretty sweet. Maybe I'll take some pics of it all finished up this weekend and post 'em.

"Ask Mini" said my light white is "Being transported to the port of exit". Yeah, it's on the move!

Need to get striping done then she'll be presentable! She's got MINI's JCW chili red caps and ducts, stripes will also have that same color as an accent. Hoping to have it done in a couple weeks before I present her here!

Wow!! That sounds awesome. Gives me ideas for the future for mine....when I get it. I can't wait to see yours. I had thought about accenting the black stripes with some red and the red mirror caps and ducts sound nice!!

I should be able to do that by the end of next week when the stripes are actually installed vs, laid out with various garage items weighing them down so they don't slip off while I snap a pic!

Thanks for the welcome!! red 4 beats gray 4 everyday!!

Outstanding!!! I love the red stripes!!

I really like how your bonnet stripes don't have the "pitch fork" look that the "official" Mini Countryman stripes have. The two larger stripes are one piece and don't break up around the raised up part in the center of the hood. Nice!

Thanks everyone!! I wanted to have a splash of a different color to go with the black/white combo and chili red drew me!

Now for the shout outs (hopefully this doesn't violate NAM rules):

Stripe kit was sourced from Lyle @ Vinyl Styles (NAM sponsor). I made a photoshop mock up of what I wanted, and he cut the vinyl to my specs and shipped them my way. I'm a huge fan!!

The challenge was finding an installer since the stripes aren't pre-masked and each component was a separate piece. I was fortunate to find Brian from Fronter Graphics & Installation who's not only a talented installer, but also a great guy to boot!!

The red "4" for the ALL4 was based on my request of Lyle to send me a piece of vinyl so I could do the DIY in Pimmy's thread:
https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...4-on-all4.html

Lyle took it a step further, created a template and sent me the pre-cut "4". It was a matter of peel and stick for me. Now that he's created a template, I'm sure it's just a matter of getting with him and telling him what color you want it in. I just checked his site and he's selling these in pairs on his site now.

Tie in the red mirror caps & ducts and red calipers, I think I'm done! The only other item I think I'll add at this point are driving lights. Just need to figure out if I want a duo or quad set up front. Otherwise, I'm thrilled!!

Apologies if I've violated some rule in advance.
