Craigeo, what size roof box is that? I have a huge Thule Atlantis 2100 left over from a much bigger truck that I was hoping would fit on our new MCS...

Is that new??? My JCW Countryman doesn't say countryman anywhere. I like it much better without the lettering too. I would have asked to delete that option lol.

Not an option

It's a mid-year change for '13. They started coming in that way a few weeks ago. Luckily, I found out about it through this forum and they agreed to change it before it arrived. I picked it up today and get it fixed tomorrow.

Just checking in as I'm about to be a proud new Countryman owner. My Big MINI is scheduled to dock in NY on Tuesday, 09/24. I'm figuring about a week for pick-up at my NH dealer. My boot lettering is being removed and not replaced by the dealer, at my request. It will have black diagonal boot stripes. Frank

Yep, on the CM its a mid year 2013 thing when they added the countryman to the boot ( trunk ) , people take them off or add them depending on what they like.

If you need to add them the emblem:

Comes in two part numbers:



Looks like you lin it up from the "T" and the "R" to center.

New 2014 CMS All4 in Evergreen Colorado

I joined the club this weekend. I picked up my new Royal Grey Countryman this weekend. I'm having a blast so far. I can hardly believe I finally have this amazing car here in my garage. I have been looking at the Countryman for well over a year and we finally made it happen this weekend. We got a great deal on a highly loaded model. It's a real beauty....I debated multiple times on the color and almost chose a copper metallic, but finally went with my original choice and am thrilled with it. I've named it "Wolowitz" after Howard in the Big Bang Theory.

My name is cooper8168, and I am a cheater.

After a 4-year marriage to a heavily-modded R53 MCS Cabrio, I strayed, and for that, I will be forever sorry. My tumultuous affair took me into the arms of a BMW E92 M3, an Audi S5 and a BMW E88 135i.

I know it won't erase the pain I have caused, but it was all for lust. I never loved any of them, even though two of them were your cousins. You gotta believe me.

You never know what you have until it's gone. I have seen the error of my ways and am back in the loving arms of a brand new Royal Gray 2014 R60SX.

I realize that it will take a lot of hard work and dedication to overcome my reputation as a serial cheater. I hope that after many carefully-chosen modifications and many years of dedicated motoring, I will once again be seen as a faithful Mini owner.

Mine is on order, probably won't be here until the end of April or so. We almost bought Royal Grey when we bought our Cooper in 2006, but went with Pepper White instead. Now we get to see firsthand what we missed!
