Looked for a new rear windshield wiper blade today .

Still looking.

 

Swapped out the 2019 grill for the 2021 JCW grill.

 

That's a nice update. But I do think I'm more partial to the frowny-face grill on my 2019 Countryman.

 

Got a new to me 2018 All4 S in Midnight Black metallic so I am just trying to make it "mine". Got new weathertechs all around, K&N air filter, got a parcel shelf from a forum member. Did some minor coding with Bimmercode and Bimmerlink. This is my 4th MINI and so far very enjoyable. Picked up a buddy of mine for dinner last night who normally drives a corvette and XKE and he was impressed with the seats and how much room there was.

Out of curiosity, what coding did you do?

 

Made "sport" mode my default, put door handles on in reverse

Installed a Cravenspeed auto shift ****. Great instructions for a 20 minute install.

 

very cool

 

Installed new wheels.

Wheels
ESR AP6
19x8.5, 5x112 (customs drilled), +30, 72.6 center bore
Rotary forged / flow formed
21lbs

Tires
Hankook Ventus2 Concept2
245/40/19

The wheels needed 5mm spacers to clear the JCW calipers. Those required some M14x1.25 33mm lug bolts. I was hoping to get some red lug bolts, but couldn’t find them at that size.

Also since the center bore is 72.6mm I got some hub centric adapters on Amazon.

 

@cuppajoe looking good. And is that all you need to fit around the big jcw brakes…spacers or are there only certain wheels too

 

With these wheels, 5mm was needed for front. The rears probably would clear without the spacers, but I wanted a square setup.

Also, I did ceramic coat these to make them easier to clean.

 

I dig the beefy rubber you're riding on!
