Still waiting on my Countryman. I ordered on 12/18 and he's on the Turandot somewhere between Halifax and NJ. During what seems like an interminable wait I've been accumulating bits and pieces. Stripes, mats, silvered light bulbs. Misc. stuff like that. The largest and most significant part I have picked up thus far is a grill.

The one item on the JACM's exterior that I am not a fan of is the grill. Every time I see a CM, my dislike of the bright silver horizontal bars grows. To fix this I picked up a spare grill from eBay (it was a dealer takeoff for someone who got driving lights) and a 12" x 36" piece of flat black vinyl wrap. I took the silver horizontal bars off, wrapped them and snapped them back on. Total time? About an hour and a half. It is my first time wrapping anything in vinyl and it was not difficult at all.

Here is a pic of the wrapped grill.


I can't wait to meet Milo and present him with his new schnoz. Hopefully, his feelings won't be too hurt.
