Black rings

I have a 2013 sitting in my driveway. I'll see if I can get some photos of the interior this weekend. I like it much better than the gray, especially with the chrome rings.

Congrats!!! Looking forward to the pics.

Question on your screen name. Are you a fire photographer at 703? I was one at 422 years ago.

Not a fire photographer, but a retired Navy photographer.

Nice, looks great! I know there is a thread about LED's but I'd like to ask did you throw any codes with the Driving, License plate, reverse lights?

What a huge difference, looks awesome!


OH...what LEDS (with resistors?) and where did you get them?

Thanks!

Yes, throwing codes. Need to get some resistors. I got the LEDs from www.SuperBrightLEDS.com and the chrome/amber bulbs from eBay.

I bolted on the ski and base rack and gave my snowboard a ride to Winter Park CO. Snow tires are going to be necessary.

I've finally gotten my witer tires and rims on. It's been a venture getting excactly the rims and tires i wanted.
I did not buy winter wheels when we bought the car new in March 2012 because the dealer wanted an arm and a leg.

I was set on the R125 Tunnel Spokes as winter rims but they vere far too expensive here in Norway (over $650 pr. rim).

I finally found a brand new set with tires on the German eBay site for about the price of just the rims from a Mini online shop in the UK, so I went for it.

The back side was that the tires vere more of hi-speed type tires better suited for southern euorpean conditions as well as being Run Flats. So I decided to sell the bare tires and buy some Nokian's that is develloped for nordic conditions. I put them up fairly cheap and they vere sold in a few days luckely.

The new tires are Nokian Hakkapeliitta R and I bought 215/55-17 98R to get a little bigger diameter. I've had these tires on a few cars and the are by far the best winter tires for crappy conditions that mater the most that I've ever had.

I took a bit of effort and puzzling but I now feel good about having the combination of tires and rims I wanted the most.

Now only hoping for a LOT of snow so I can go out and play rally driver for a bit The car is 3/2012 SD All4

sorry for the poor pics (iPhone4s)

From looking at your picture with the van in the background it seems like the Countryman is a large vehicle where you are!

Debadged the "Cooper" on the back as it was to close to my after market stripes, which made it look out of place and slanted. Also got Red 4's.

You can get them at vinyl styles or get a sheet and cut them yourself

Yep. Got them from Vinyl Styles...I'm lucky enough to live close enough to have them put them on for me. Here is a link:

There are a few pics of the stripes he put on our R60 there too.
