You are welcome. Looks great Juts that lower lip improves the whole front end.

 

Looks good man! That JCW lip spoiler totally changes the look of the countryman. I have the JB+ as well as a place holder until I have the parts ready for the Manic Stage2... Just need an intercooler now.

 

 

No doubt. I was just hoping for a liiiiiiiitle bit of ANY turbo noises lol. Nothing on this car. Its a All4 automatic so I certainly don't expect anything

 

 

Thanks for the order.

 

Deleted and started over

 

I turned off a highway onto a gravel road which turned into a grass path. I was going back to see that old steel bridge. Yes, I still need to wax the car to get rid of the shadows of the red stripes I removed in March. I traded a Toyota FJ for this countryman and love the car.

 

Congrats on the new CM, black is a hard car to get the swirl marks out of.

 

The trunk is the only place I have seen the stripes shadow, when the sun hits it right. On the hood and doors you would never know it had red stripes. I remember thinking before I removed them the worse case would be buying new stripes and putting them back on. The ones on the hood needed replaced anyway.

Right now I like the black look but may go back to stripes sometime.

 

Just picked up a 2012 CMS All4 w only 10k miles on it!
This is my first mini. I've always wanted a mini. I've been looking at them and saw this deal and had to jump on it. I wanted a 2 door but I had to go with a CM due to the bear/dog I have (135lb American Akita). I am liking the CM more and more though. The ground clearance and size is definitely a plus!

Anyway, I have had it for 3 weeks now and just got the stripes done.

Window tint is scheduled for this Friday. Going with 65% on the front doors, 5% for the back doors, 25% or 50% for the hatch glass, and a 4" 25% stripe across the windshield.

just ordered upgraded front cupholders

decided to go with a checkered flag theme bc I don't think much else will go with "light coffee". I just ordered checkered flag lower steering wheel piece, checkered paddle shifter "buttons," and the "S" start button

It has silver/gray around the dash vents and the "mickey mouse." I want to do these dash pieces in black but just the center accent piece is $300+ from mini! Might just have them painted instead.

I was kind of annoyed that it already had that ugly front plate holder on it. The holes are already there, so I will probably get some sort of mini vanity plate.

Also not a fan of the chrome. Still contemplating blacking it all out, including the black inserts for the headlights.

I'm excited to make this mini mine! $$$$$$$!

Ignore the pollen all over the hood. Spring in West Michigan is crazy!

 

Loving the chocolate color. The cup holders was also the First thing I change

Also, ECS and Mini Parts have the black out light rings pretty inexpensive

 

Pretty much every vehicle i've owned has been some sort of brown, so i figured id stick w it! 😁

 

Finally got everything together. Hadn't posted pics before because everything was kind of being done at the same time. Just washed/waxed her up and took a couple pics.

The hood isn't really debadged. The emblem is off right now, but I used a bit of photoshop to cover up the holes for the sake of the picture. lol. I'm going to order a new hood emblem soon.

 

Looks fantastic!! Great job. I'm really digging the wheels. Tirerack only seems to have the T6S in Silver. Where did you get the bronze color?

 

Got the tint done a few days ago. Also washed and waxed since the last photos... much better without a coating of pollen!
I ended up going with 5% on the rear side windows, 15% on the rear hatch window, 15% on the stripe across the windshield, and 50% on the front side windows. The cops are pretty bad around here and made us remove the tint on my wife's focus bc her front windows were too dark, so I thought I'd play it safe. Still like it MUCH better than no tint!

 

Thanks! Yeah, they only come in silver (and gold in a select few bolt patterns.) They used to come in flat black, but that has been discontinued.

The color is a custom job. I was shooting for the Volk bronze color. They turned out quite a bit darker, but I think I like it even more.

 

I like the headlights and taillights. The biggest thing i dont like on mine is the bright red taillights. I will most likely go with the ECS lights too. only had mine for a month tho so one thing at a time!

 

Finally got around to installing the Crap Industries 2 inch lift on my 2012 CM All4. The fronts are done (its pretty darn cool looking) and the rears with sway bar will be put on this week. 20mm spacers all around bring out the wheels a bit as well. Will post pics once all done.

 

First Ive heard of these Black Line Tail Lights, do you happen to have a pic of them compared to the stock ones? The pics on ECS dont really make it look much different, are they noticiably darker? seems pretty pricey otherwise.

for $300 id probably get something like this https://www.waymotorworks.com/led-ta...ryman-r60.html

 

photos or video of those in action? I didn't find anything googling them.

 

They are here and are dark vs stock. Also, they come with the outside rings in black. Maybe those pics will help.

Thanks,

Id love to see a side by side comparison.

 

I don't like the "Euro" LED tail lights. It doesn't suit the body style, IMO. The difference in color is pretty great. I'll try to post up some before pics tonight.

 

Any Rubbing
