Molly,

My 2 cents....

Your car is gorgeous - one of the best looking CM's I've seen.

Stay away from chrome stripes!!! (too gawdy or should I say too Guido)

 

Totally agree. Great color combo and one we considered but ultimately did not go with. We went with black top due to sunroof and then we felt gray would work better with black... Decision, decisions...

Regarding the chrome. It works better with white contrast top than black top, but there's just enough as is IMHO. It's a Mini, not a Cadi.

 

interesting selection of words...

 

Thanks to all who contributed. Yes, like in good interior design, sometimes less is more. Actually, most of the time. I have decided that a better investment will be mudflaps as it infuriates me to have puddle wash all over the sides and back of my dark car. My MA talked me out of them against my better judgement, but when I was over there today, I showed them why I wanted the mudflaps to begin with. They sheepishly agreed that I was right...

This is a great community. I am honored to be a part of it!

So here he is fresh from the tint/detailer.....CHAOS.Arrived at dealer 10/25 picked up 10/30.Tint: 15% on front doors and on rear window, 5% everywhere else including sunroof and eyebrow. AfE dry filter put in as soon as he got home and Craven Speed stubby.

 

Some would consider those words offensive....

 

Nice Ride!!!!!

 

Being from Brooklyn, I can tell you those words are not offensive... But then again the world is becoming too PC...

Chrome stripes look great on a 1985 Z28... Molly's car "IMHO" is beautiful as is...

(sorry if you were offended)

 

This isn't my Countryman but I saw it at the dealer today. The car was a White S with a black top. It has these good looking custom leather seats.

 

 

Quick pics, better ones to follow

 

Hi Everyone, I've been reading the forum for some time now! Just picked up my baby "ViVi" Enjoy!

 

VIvi, as from Final Fantasy right?

 

Vivi, when did your car get in? I am still waiting for mine to show up at the same dealer.

 

Welcome ATLMINI!!! maybe ill see you zipping around town!

 

Nice!

 

Ahh... Unadulterated Black. Looks great! Be sure to add your pics to the Absolute Black Owner's Club thread too!

Congrats!

 

The all black looks great with the chrome. I'm a chrome lover myself.

My Mini (Hilton), picked it up yesterday.

 

Interesting looking bodykit, who made it?

 

Thanks for the compliments!
I had previously ordered a 2011 that got delayed because of the Mini Connected with Nav. Got one of the first 2012 allotments for my dealer and once it went into production it was at the dealer in about 7 weeks! Really happy so far!

super nice mod for R60 by japn duell

 

Who said white has to be bland.... The beast just got her stripes! Designed the color combo and stripes myself. Took the design to a vinyl company put them on for me and did an awesome job! Better pics here than what I posted in the pure white thread.

 

The blue white combo looks really nice!

 

KiwiRob...the front bumper mods are pretty awesome. Where can you get the aftermarket on those?

 

Here's the boot!
