From the moment i bought the Countryman with All 4, i knew the 4 had to be red! Just like te S on Cooper S.

Here is a small how to, to get the 4 Red:

First get the right color red vinyl: Chilli Red
The store i bought it, it's called "Avery 858 Dark Red". It matches my stripes perfect.



First clean the logo.



Then apply the vinyl onto the logo. Make sure there is no air bubbles under it.



Then you take a paperclip, or some else thin, to push the vinyl into the small opening between the 4 and the chrome "frame".




At last you get a very small knife and cut along the edges.
I should look original:

 

Here, here! I'm with you Pimmy! Great job!

The graphics shop did mine in vinyl as well when they were doing my stripes...

 

Awesome how to....easy to do, looks great. Thanks.

 

Did mine in carbon fiber. I like the way the red stands out.

 

I think CF would look awesome on a white Countryman! Good call!

Pics?

 

That looks great! Nice idea.

 

Here is the CF

CF looks good on all colors :-)

 

nice subtle look. the dirty car isn't so subtle though

 

You can come wash it any time you'd like...

 

cool!! I would love to get it with red!!

Pimmy: which store that you get the vinyl?? online store??

 

@I_m_Mini: I got it at my local vinyl store, you only need the size of an paper.

 

I'm not sure does any store around me carry the exact color to match the strip. Would you mind help me get one and I pay you back??

 

I always thought it was MINI's mistake to color the "4" of "ALL4" the same as the car color, but I wasn't aware of a very affordable alternative until I read of Lyle's creations.

I went to Vinyl Styles (vinylstyles.com) today and had the 4 changed from Light Coffee to RED - redder than Sealy's pure orange. Lyle is a great resource!

A pair of red 4's like these is $6, installed $10, I assume postage extra.

 

ghamma: Thank you so much for your info.

 

Looks awesome, definately doing mine in green.

 

Thanks for the info, Just ordered a pad form vinylstyles.com as well.

 

My 4 isn't the body color of the car...

I think they are all the color of YOUR car!

 

And what a good color it is, too! Of course, I liked the red of the S better...

 

Spimmy, thanks for the great idea.



did my 4 n S's in lime green

 

You all work too hard geeking out on how to do this stuff. Nail polish comes in almost any color and you can get it at the dollar store. Also Testor's Model Airplane paint covers good.
Just sayin'
