Just got my new 2014 Convertible S!!!

Just picked up my new 2014 Convertible S, and they finally got the custom Victory Viper stripe on it yesterday. I have attached photos for those that are interested - I think the stripe turned out fantastic!

Congrats on your new MINI. Like the black out headlights and the R111 wheels.

We enjoyed our 2010 chili red Convertible S for 4 years until switching to a 2014 Roadster. If you didn't get the wind deflector, it does help a lot.

I really like the Victory Viper stripes (and R111 wheels) a lot more that the standard black stripes we had. I hope you have as much fun with it as we did! Best wishes!

Yes, I have the wind deflector. It makes a tremendous difference, especially at highway speeds and in cold weather!

I designed the stripe myself on my computer, and then my local stripe guy, Chad, cut the stripe out and installed it! All at the same price as his normal MINI stripe!

+1 on the wind deflector, I have one in a R52 Convertible and I feel a must for a convertible owner.

There are two different deflectors for the R57 MINI Convertible and for the R52 MINI Convertible. Once I installed one in my convertible , one of the best simple upgrades to keep the wind out on cool summer nights. Also great on reducing the wind baffle , you can talk to someone sitting next to you.

Checkered version has little storage areas. Both come with travel storage bags.
