I recently got a set of Beyern 17" Black Matte Spartan wheels for the All4. I think the only other thing I want to do is get some chrome Xenon headlight assemblies and bulbs, and then I'll be done with updating it. I want to keep this clean and simple, without bonnet stripes or anything else. I'm a believer in "less is more".

All airbags deployed and my Bright White held up pretty good by the way under the circumstances. Kudos to the engineering!!! Everyone was surprised that no-one was injured!

Hope you at least got to fill your freezer for your trouble. Glad no one was hurt. Something to truly be thankful for!

Finally got around to installing a few things...

Wheel specs:
17x8.5" et40 wheels, 17 lbs each
245/45-17 Firehawk Indy 500 tires, 25 lbs each

Weight savings from stock: 28 lbs (rotational mass)

How the car looked before...



How the car looks now.








Acceleration has definitely improved and the added traction has really woken up the AWD system around turns...

More details in this THREAD

Matte Black Wrap

Am I still considered part of the Light White group?

It's not permanent... It's only a wrap, I swear!

Hello my fellow Light Whites,

I'm new to the Mini scene, but longtime BMW advocate. I recently picked up a 2012 Countryman S All4, and I have to say... I'm in love! I had a little photoshoot the other day and wanted to share.

Enjoy,

My first mini! She's is my pride and joy! Im not crazy about the grey and orange side scuttles nor the orange and red turn signals on the wheel arches. Will definitely be taking care of those as well as the the grey grill. My plan is to blackout the trim and make it look clean, White and Black!
