Hi All,

I will be using this thread to document the progress of my new Bright White 2012 Countryman S. Thanks for looking.

Here he is the day we picked him up…

Tinted 35% on all 5 windows. I also Plasti-Dip'd the headlight and taillight trim. I also installed the Platypus license plate holder that I bought from OutMotoring.

Installed the NM lowering springs with a buddy of mine. The ride after the install improved, definitely stiffer than stock. I may need to purchase Koni shocks when they come out (if they come out).

Wheels came in! I fell in love with these rims the moment I seen them. It is the TSW Nurburgring 18"x8" ET35 Matte Gunmetal finish. They are rated at ~18lbs per wheel. They are wrapped with Falken Ziex ZE-912 225/45R/18 tires.
