New Countryman Boot Lid..
So, having looked at the UK config, seems you now get COUNTRYMAN across the boot lid, echoing the PACEMAN design of badge lettering.
Personally I think it looks to busy... but can see why it has been done... glad I got the boot lid I got! [IMG]http://img819.imageshack.us/img819/8081/picture1yxf.jpg[/IMG] |
Hopefully new Countrymans come with a coupon for adhesive remover.

This! :no: |
Ugh. These driving advertisements keep getting bigger. Seen the same with other car manufacturers.
|
With all those letters, the boot lid looks rather "busy" to me. The MINI badge is plenty of identification.
|
I'm so glad mine is plain. I really don't like that huge badging on the back.
|
I don't mind it, but I would rather that they replaced the Cooper badge with a Countryman badge of the same size.
I'm actually considering doing just that... |

Or to put it another way - there's a limit to how much petrolhead I'm willing to show to the general public ;) |
Yeah but just think about it....all these letters now available to us from MINI.
What could you spell to put on the back :lol: P A C E M A N C O U N T R Y M A N PAC MAN MOTOR ON NO MONEY MAN COUNTRY RACE YOU |
makes it tough to strip the boot with all if that lettering going on!

I like the way you think, but prefer the more subtle plate frame. :nod:

Too busy in my opinion. Countryman is a big word on a smaller car, so it takes up the entire boot.
If Mini really wants to start labeling all their vehicles, I think there are better ways. Personally, I think it would be cool to have the word Countryman pressed into the metal on the top of the rear bumper...if that makes sense?? So if you were loading the trunk, when you look down on the bumper from the top, you would see the word. Just a thought. |
Few more ponies under the hood and a better clutch they can put "Countryman" on every panel for all I care. Would rather see Mini improve the product then their product awareness.

If we have to use ALL the letters of PACEMAN and COUNTRYMAN on the boot lid, I'd like to reserve the following:
Catnap Acronym Menu Macrame Canyon Punt Necromancy Amp Tuna Acumen Conman Party Nuance Company Mart Conman Campy Nature Coma Truancy Penman Campy Toucan Manner A Creamy Conman Punt OK? |
Anyone know when the changes to the boot lettering are being implemented? I have a vehicle in the "birth canal" this week and am wondering whether or not I'll have the letters out back. I'm still forming an opinion on whether I like it or not, but I am surprised that they are making such a noticeable exterior change mid model-year.

At least if I put Countryman on the back, it would eliminate the #1 question I get about my car: "Is that the Clubman?" :no: |
:no: no thank you....The Cooper S was too much for mine....nice clean, shaved look in my opinion
