Hi all. I ordered Light White w/ Black mirrors/roof. Patiently awaiting delivery

 

Nice pic

 

congrats and nice choice. you given a ballpark date yet ? somewhere between thanksgiving and christmas ?

 

Here's ours. We've since changed to black mirror caps. And.. I want to put a drivers' side black stripe.

Our CMS is actually a "pepper white" We went with the white roof.

 

Thanks for posting! That's very similar to what mind will look like except I'll have the dark headlamp housings.

Curious, what do you mean by yours being pepper white? I ordered Light White with a white roof and I'm pretty sure the entire car is going to be LW. Am I mistaken?

 

Thank you! The actual name of the color of our model is "pepper white". I googled CMS pepper white, and its out there.

I'm really happy with our purchase. Its a fun vehicle.

 

Interesting. I didn't know PW was available on the Countryman. No offense to it, my last MINI was a PW, but I really hope mine is LW with a LW roof. I wanted a crisper white and LW is the closest MINI makes to BMW's Alpine White.

 

Wait a minute.. I think I'm confused. My neighbor might be the one that has pepper white? Ours is a bright white. So... it must be the light white. Her's is a little darker shade almost a beige type white. Pretty sure we have light white.

 

Whew, that explains it! LW is a lot brighter than PW. My 2010 MCS was PW and I would liken that more to a "bone" white. Not exactly beige, but not very light.

 

Just got my bike rack for mine. Not a fancy picture, but it'll do.

 

Here's one with the black caps we put on the mirrors.

 

here's mine with its new shoes & Fogs

 

With Lamborghini orange caps/duct

 

flashy.
i like the custom cut around the cooper s on the boot stripe. they did i nice job.

 

Haha, that's exactly what I did too!

 

I'm new to the club just picked up my 1st MINI last week. Still haven't thought of name. I've never named a car before! My MINI is a 2011 with 16k miles Light White / Black. I love it so far!

 

Our 2013 Light White CM is at the dock in Bremerhaven awaiting a vessel! Anyway to find out which ships are leaving soon?

 

Here are a few pictures of my new (36 hours old) Countryman S All4, in and around Red Rocks Park west of Denver.

We also have 2 *** chins! Got a small soft crate for both to ride with us in our white black out CM!!

 

they're great little dogs.
i had go badges make a grill badge but they refused to use the artwork i send them and insisted on redrawing the picture to avoid any copyright issues. i wasn't crazy about the final product and never mounted it which is why i had stickers123 make up the window stickers. i have a few left if you're interested in one.

the gobadge..

 

Not a big fan of the black plasti-diped headlight rings, so I did them in white....cant beat $9 a can to do it...considering nobody will PAINT chrome plastic, not too bad...next to do the tail light rings

 

Since you already have black roof, mirrors, and headlight housing, I'm just scratching my head on the "not a fan of black headlight rings" when there are already so many black accents on your car. At the end of the day, if you like it with white it's all that matters

 

THICK black headlight rings and taillight rings look like racoons against the white IMO....despite having black housings the rings in black stand out a lot, and I was going for a more subtle transition, that and black is over done, not too many body color

 

Can't wait to see the tail lights.

Did you remove the rings to paint them. Did you use light white mini paint or standard white paint?
