Those of you that black out the chrome trim around the car. What have you use to black them out and have you seen them in that anthracite color?

How to do the ring trim thing

Hello,
Looks great, do you have a full car picture? how hard it was to remove front and rear (headlight/tails) rings? Front rings are pretty easy. If you open the hood you'll see that you can just pop them out. Just be careful not to drop those little clips. Before putting on the front trims you might have to de-burr. I had to do this on the driver side front ring The tail lights are a bit more of a PITA you'll have to pop off the vent in the trunk/boot and you'll see the screws you'll need to loosen (4 on each light), but I suggest you take a large towel and stuff that hole that drops down before you start, so you won't lose your tool like I did you'll need a 5/16 socket and very flexible limbs. Using a tiny ratchet w/ a 5/16 cube or a ratcheting 5/16 socket wrench makes it tons easier. 1st disconnect the cable for the lights. It's one plug and it only goes it one way so it's a no brainer. Next, Take off the 2 that you can see and loosen the bottom screws of the one you can see. The top screw that you can't see is difficult but doable. You can pop off the light without undoing that top out of sight screw but you'll need to loosen it to put it back together and you'll need to tighten it when putting it back on. After, I bought a set of plastic prys from Geek (I love this site) http://geek.wish.com/c/55910ca21a24bd4041ae3e90 Start from the bottom clips and you'll need to apply a small amount of gentle force always keep a pry in and slide it around and you'll get it off. Putting it on is very easy just make sure all the clips are secured before putting the light back on the car. |

Those would look good too bad you can't do the silver trim around the bottom of the windows old gold also....or can you!!! Plasti dip old gold maybe?
I did some random little mods. Cravenspeed dips tick because the stock one is annoying and the phone holder. Tomorrow I get surprise in the mail though. PS I'm moving the bx soon good to see some there will be some countryman around.https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...733cf7aa37.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...ebc949f20e.jpg |

I forgot we had an actual Countryman thread and posted this in the all-mini one yesterday..
Happy with the JCW lip. I thought it might look dumb on a 'higher' ground clearance mini, but not the case at all. Stared at it for a while after install lol. I just bought the $133 lip from ECS without the install stuff. Worked fine. Pretty much just used all the wheel-well edge clips and a nut/bolt under the flare overlap. 3 original push fasteners under the bottom and its tight enough to work well. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.nor...e5e9aa4e62.jpg R60 Countryman JCW lip ECS Tuning |
Looks great, thanks for the order. It's amazing just the front lower JCW lip improve the front end looks. :)

Installed my ECS catch can. Used a 3/4" hose and tried to make it look as OEM as an install as possible. Took some time to find the right U-bend hose.

I just bought a 2013 Countryman (base model). This is my first mini. Being a total newbie, I have managed to reset the TPMS and then broke the wheel lock key. I need to do the brakes and also get new tires. I managed to get one wheel off then snapped the key on the second wheel. The local BMW dealer doesn't have a key in stock so I ordered one directly from McGard. I will have to wait till it gets here to get back to the brakes.

Vip custom parts air intake. Its pretty crappy out here in NY today so cant really test the butt dyno. The bov and turbo spool are significantly louder. Im shocked ive had short rams and cais on many turbocharged cars and never have they seemed as loud. |
