Kudos, IRoNoRE- I'm done with stripes on my vehicles, but I like the way you did that.

 

I am not sure why the cut the stripe .. I think the complete stripe is a cleaner look... (just my opinion).
I know some hate stripes and some hate the badging all together...

 

My beef on stripes is that they have to be replaced from time to time. Some of 'em look really good though.

 

Yah,, I see a few small chips out of the edges of my stripes already ...

 

I was pleased with the port install of my stripes ending before the CM label.

 

+1. My JCW was done the same way at the port. Is it only JCWs that get the short stripe?

 

It's ok, you can say it sucks

I removed mine the same way i have done with badges on my vehicles for years.

1.hair dryer. on high setting an inch or too from from badge, held there for about 5 minutes

2.using fishing line wrapped around GLOVED fingers on both hands, use a sawing motion to cut through the adhesive, loosened by the hair dryer.

3. using Goo-Gone on a micro fiber towel, wipe the surface until all adhesive is gone.

4.the result is a clean boot with absolutely not mars, scratches, or any other blemishes on the paint.

5.re-apply wax onto surface of the boot.

 

Yuk

 

I took delivery of my 2014 CMS All4 a little over a week ago, and I went for the Stealth Package as I didn't like the COUNTRYMAN lettering on the boot. They definitely meant it with the stealth package. The only references to the make/model/etc. on the car are the integrated MINI boot latch (definitely can't get rid of that), the MINI badge on the bonnet, and the "S" on the side markers. There is no "COOPER S" badge on the boot, and no "All4" badges on the doors. I've never been a fan of all the labelling on cars, so I love the look. Will also make it much easier to wax.

 

the shealth package is good on a 2wd, but an all4 needs to have its "all4" badge displayed. if it were to be towed incorrectly like in dragged it could damage your transmission, if you don't have it displaying all4 you will find it hard to sue anyone for damages don't due to bad towing.

 

From what I heard my MA said they don't tow any MINI, they are put on flat beds

 

I'm a big fan of strips but good grief that's horrible, it looks stupid, I know it's not your fault, but jesus what the hell were MINI thinking when they came up with this.

 

Ordered a 2014 with the tramp stamp on Saturday. My first order of business is to remove it.

 

"tramp stamp"....too funny...

 

Thats how I see it. Some like the badge.

 

Yes, some of us do like the tramp stamp. So much so, that some of us have added it to our cars that came without.

 

Some like this too



but it doesn't make it right.

 

Same douchebaggery, different forum, KiwiRob For everyone else, let's not feed the troll.

 

I'm with you teach....

 

sorry, ignore. I was looking for a pix of the lettering laid on top of full length stripes, and found it on another page...

 

We're the proud owners of a new Countryman S. My wife hated the logo across the back so much that she had the dealer remove it and any history of it prior to delivery...

Oh no.... I'm waiting for my 2014 countryman. It's not going to have that will it?😢😪

 

I am not personally a fan of stripes or the countryman plate, but i must say this look is very intriguing indeed...the red stripes on the white paint do look good.

White JCW with red roof is a fantastic color combo as well !

 

So I went to pick up my 2014 countryman All4 tonight. When I first took a glance I couldn't believe what I was seeing, there was no countryman or all 4 or coopers s to be found on the car at all. I was ecstatic! The sales people interpreted me being excited the wrong way and thought I was upset about the lack of labels on the car. They started circling the car flipping out, it was really a site to see. They thought someone messed up big time. They asked another salesman who ordered the car why it was missing all its labels. Turns out you can order a "stealth trim" which only comes with the mini wings and nothing else. It is so sexy and minimalist looking; it was truly meant to be!

 

The dealer ended up taking off the lettering off of the back for me prior to purchase.
