Newbie!

Just picked up my first Mini (a Countryman) last week after going through rounds of with VW, Toyota, and then checking out a stack of used cars. Already loving the community vibe that I enjoyed as a long time VW owner, and looking forward to digging in more.



Stripes and tint coming soon!

Wow...nice color combo.

Picked up my Clubman a couple of weeks ago. I just got mine tinted yesterday. And getting stripes at the end of the month.

The more and more I see the Countryman, the more I love them. Congrats!

Thanks, we got really lucky on the Green/White/Camel combo. The red was just a bit too orange in the sunlight for my wife and I.

Looking forward to the stripes and tint, kind of hoping to move past all the "It's so CUTE!" comments...but I can live with them as well.

On the bonnet and boot, the wider ones with accent stripe outside? The dealer wasn't moving on price, but offered up $500 in Mini accessories to play with so that's where I'm headed with it.

My jealousy is profound, and I made similar rounds through other manufacturers.

I decided on Cosmic Blue with the white roof, chrome exterior details, and racing stripes.

Yours looks terrific! Can't wait to see it with the stripes.
