Does this one also charge your phone? I saw some comments on the reviews of that cable that said it didn't charge.

This is the same extender I have for my iPhone 4S. I highly recommend the ProClip setup. It works great, easy install, and holds the phone very secure.

Yeah, it looks really thick. I'm kind of wishing I ordered it but I'm sure I could add it later if I decide I really need it. Would be nice if they would throw this in with the JCW package, considering the price premium.

I'd bet this is a VDC option, not factory. If your car is still on the water or in production, you can probably change it. I ordered the JCW instrument cluster after my car was in production because the VDC does it, and the labor the VDC charges is less, substantially less, than what the dealer will later on. Your MA could advise you on this.

Nice. That is black! I think I'm gonna order the silver turn signals from Way motor Works and get rid of that yellow turn signal bulb.

Just to let you see what is looks like without the yellow bulbs.

Yeah, I think that looks much better, even on my white car. Those yellow reflections are just out of place.

They don't bother me... yet. But then, I also have the dreaded and despised "Countryman" lettering on the boot, and don't hate it as much as I thought I would. Maybe I'm a lame!

I think the C O U N T R Y M A N lettering looks good on dark cars, but on white, it is unreadable from 20ft away, so I had it removed.

I have the letters in my garage. Not sure what I'll do with them.

Here is a quick pic of my Absolute Black MINI with red stripes, red mirrors, 18" rims, sports suspension, and all black interior. I just got the windows tinted 20%.

I added the rear bike rack last night and I have to say that I love it. I'll post a few more pics soon.

New CM Owner in South Florida

I picked my 2014 Countryman S a month ago and am having a blast driving this baby around. All black (In & Out), MINI Connected with NAV, Sunroof, JCW Package. Added the JB+ Tune and K&N Air Filter so far for performance mod. I love all the creative designs on here!
