Love it!! I've been trolling the site looking at everyone elses CM's. I think that picture just made up my mind what color to get. It's been tough to decide between surf or cosmic blue since I haven't seen either in person. Would love to see more if you get time in the sun to take them.

Beautiful Countryman!!! Thanks for posting! Those are the anthracite 18's, right? WOW LOVE the white mirror caps as well with that build.

Surf blue looks great! I am having such an issue settling on a color. Just when I think I know what color I am going to order, BAM!, someone posts great pic's like this!. Now I'm all about getting this color combo. Ugh, decision, decisions.

But what a great problem to have.

You have the same color combo as I chose, but with the white mirror caps (I went with the chrome line exterior). You have a stunning car!

Hexproject, your car is PERFECT!! Thanks so much for posting the pics. What color scheme, seat combo did you go with inside. Any chance of some pics of the interior...?

I have never in my life understood how anyone could 'love' a car. But I have fallen in love at first sight with the CM. I learned to drive as a girl in England in a red Mini, of the exact tomato red shade that is Pure Red Although Polojankins black with sport stripes is undeniably sexy, the Surf Blue lifts my spirits. A dream is born...

Real nice. I spec'd one out in Surf Blue & Black ... but seeing a real pic (not a rendering), I'm really liking it with White.

Thanks, and good luck with the new wheels!

My Lisbeth is decked out almost exactly as Heathcliff. You've seen the MINI Flow commercial, right? That Countryman is Pure Red with Black roof as well.

I do love that commercial. But that car(s) had either the black or anthracite wheels, and, for whatever reason, didn't get them. Opted for the more traditional 18's.

I may change may mind - we'll see. The dealer has swapped tires before, so...
