I had two door dings and a compound dent removed from the hood right about the wheel well by a PDR whiz in Portland/Beaverton OR. I can't believe how fast and how inexpensive this was.

This weekend I did three things..

Remove almost all of the chrome from the car

Installed the rest of the 9500 Radar system (you can see the front sensors in brake vents)

Added a tow system to the back for a small jetski..

I really like how the split looks between the two colors. See the pics below. Also here is a link to the bulbs.

Great! Did you use v-bands on the exhaust or flanges? Would love to see pictures of it as well.

But for some reason I mostly only have exhaust coming out the right side and the left side nothing. I will drive and come back right tailpipe is piping hot, and the left one if cold well the tip is but the pipe going to the left tip is pretty warm

For comparison, I will say that on our BMW 335i the right pipe definitely gets more flow than the left. Just make sure the split for the pipes is nice and clean and there is no blockage. If you want some good exhaust tip cleaner, go to your local Home Depot or Ace and get some never dull. That stuff is magic and brings my tips back to looking new.

Sounds good! I bet it gets loud when you're on it. How does it sound at highway cruising speeds?

Nice, that has to be one of the most useful interior mods in the Early Countryman models as well as the rear cup holders

Thanks ECS. Was trying to pick up the dark silver in my black jack mirrors. Didn't know if if I was going to like it as much as just black. Think it makes the car look a little more unique though.

More a "what did you do with" your countryman than "what did you do to"...

My wife's CMS has the CooperCrap hitch bar. Last night we pulled her dad's Cadillac out of the mud with it. Rope from hitch bar to Caddy frame, pulled it backwards right out.

I think I put another 10,000mi of wear on the clutch though
