Nice. Anxiously awaiting mine. Very similar - white with black top Countryman S.

Congrats! Were you going to leave the name badging on the back, remove it yourself, or try to have the dealer remove it?

I hail from Jersey City, NJ - was able to see the ship come in to port! Bought through Prestige MINI

I'm going to keep the name on the back for a while, just to see how I feel about it. Probably end up taking it off.

Any suggestions for first mods?

any interest in adding some red to it or you going to keep the storm trooper look. if so some red stripes and or red mirror caps are a good look. First MOD is TINT a must in my opinion on any of these especially the white black theme

Are those xenon lights? With yellow turn signals? I thought when you got xenon, it automatically meant white signals.

You have almost the exact same options list I chose. I wish I would have thought of the black/xenon lights though. Looks great.

Wait, that is the black housing? Doesn't look too black to me. Was hoping would be darker. I paid $100 for that option.

Definitely going with the tints and maybe a powder coat over the chrome around the lights to make it all black. The black housing is nice- you'll like it, EHans. The only chrome left would be just on the light itself. I wish you could order the black housing with the adaptive headlights.

I did get the white out turn signals. Only the bulb is colored, but the pic makes the whole thing look orange.

they make black ring kits for the headlights and taillights.
