The wait is over...

Months of browsing the forums and weeks of waiting, finally arrived! Countryman S ALL4 picked up from the dealership yesterday, so this morining I installed some stuff I had pre-purchased in anticipation, then spent the day driving.

Specs as ordered:
Absolute Black
Xenon headlights black housing
MINI driving lamps
Technology package w/NAV

Installed today:
Black headlight rings
Blackline side marker lights
Blackline smoked taillight kit
Stubby antenna
Wheel arch reflector tint

To be installed but already purchased:
JCW front lip
MINI LED daytime running lights

Congrats! Looks great! How long from order to delivery? I ask because it's been about 5 weeks since my wife ordered her countryman all4. The miniusa site says it's awaiting shipping...been like that for 20 days now. Looking around online reveals the wait to be anywhere from 5-10 weeks, but many of the threads I saw were from years ago. I guess it'll get here when it gets here. Anyhow, nice looking CM.

Just so you know, the miniusa site won't update status of a Countryman build (since they're built in Austria) - your MA can update you, and if you get a VIN you can watch it once it gets assigned to a shipping vessel (WW line out of Bremerhaven most likely)

Its now complete! Windows were tinted earlier in the week; 18% all the way around and spent yesterday installing the JCW front lip and the LED DRL's. Heres the completed look.

Hey snsb152, I know it's an old thread but do you have the "daytime running lamps" selected in your settings or what setting do you have it on to have the LEDS in the fogs lit up, but not your headlights on??? Thanks.

Select the position light, first click on the stock from off, then turn on your fogs.
