impressive that Sewell is your dealer. i've heard nothing but great things about them.

what inspired the update from the '12 to the '14 ?

 

Great looking MINI!! I was thinking of getting a light white/black color combo for the Mrs.
Could you pls tell me is that red bar on the grill looks like it can be removed or maybe swapped for a black one? I prefer the cleaner look on the grill. Thanks in advance!

LOL, my Surf Blue CMS only had 11,231 miles on it, it was a little over 27 months old. When I first went to buy my 12 I went with the expectations of buying white (Texas heat, easy to clean, and I like the CMS in white). For some reason I was drawn to the surf blue. So I was getting my 2nd year oil change and was looking at the 14 in white because I had nothing better to do while waiting. The sales person wanted to put me into it and I said if he could meet my terms I would do it. So 117.00 down and 10.00 per month more than the previous R60 and I was on my way. They did the swap last night and finished it up this morning. Oh, and I originally put down 4k on my first CMS so I had some equity into it plus super low mileage.

 

Very nice !

 

My new baby and 1st MINI

 

Just picked her up a couple days ago. 100% stock CM All4.

Saving up to put on a custom 2.5" full turbo-back exhaust system (catless, 1-3 resonators), custom CAI, forge reticulation valve, air/oil separator, custom aluminum rad/fmic setup and mounting, and of course a tune!

Any great tuning companies you all recommend?

Until I do add all that on I'll just enjoy the stock power for now!

Planning to do some free "modding" in few months. I'm looking to drop about 65-80# off the car, mainly from the front end. Might even relocate the battery soon to help even more with the weight distribution. Goal in to drop a total of 250+ pounds off the car, while retaining the OE rear seats, carpet, dash, steering wheel and airbags. Stripes are going to be removed and I want to vinyl wrap the top with white and the body with red (WRC style color code).

 

Just picked up my girl on Friday! Two months of waiting for her to come in

 

Picked her up yesterday.







Taking her Monday for tinting and Clear Bra.

 

First time I've seen the chrome accents on the valance. I was thinking it was on non-S models.

 

Nice! Your MINI from the outside has most of the options we did not buy (off the lot). Oh well, maybe the next time? :-)

 

Thanks! Here she is tinted.

 

Looks great....get your orange and red side markers tinted.....you'll enjoy the look!

 

Just finished her up over the weekend. Still no name for her yet!

 

Greetings from SO-FLA,

 

Hello all, PtMini from Arizona, US
Just picked up this R60 on Sept. 12, 2016 from Mini of Tempe.
Looking to change out headlights to the Black housing projector ones soon.
Changing chrome out to matte gunmetal accent and grill spear to some other color.
Looking to paint the scuttles B15 (light white) to match.

 

Joining the club. Just got it Sunday, bone stock. Hope to get it tinted soon.

 

Congrats and welcome. Like the color you chose

 

welcome to light white.

 

I like the red lug nuts. I did red valve stem caps and on the top of them is the MINI logo. Where did you get them? - PtMini

 

Hello! My R60+1. Lol. The Paceman forum is a little dead.

 

That is a sweet Paceman !😊😍👍🏻

 

Thanks! I can't decide if I want the updated JCW grille with the red stripe

 

Recently defected from the Chili Red to the Light White.

 

Hello all! I'm back in the club after 11 years! My last mini was an 03 EB COOPER S. I never thought I'd like the countryman....(actually didn't when they were released lol) but my needs have changed a lot and ideally need an SUV but still really wanted a mini so....here it is. The front stripes remind me of the rebel alliance symbol! Am I just weird? Might change those at some point...even though I love Star Wars. I'm thinking of purple accents. Might name it the white rabbit. I'm a huge Alice in wonderland fan ����

 

Just got my Certified 2014 Mini Cooper S Countryman All4 (32k) a couple weeks ago, and it's really fun. I sold my 2008 R56 back in November of last year, and have been driving my cousin's Nissan Titan V8 pick up truck, so I was happy to get back into a Mini. I test drove some other vehicles of the same year in the sedan family, but nothing compared to the handling and aesthetic of Mini. I live in Ashland, Ohio and the roads out here are amazing for a Mini. I've heard there are some great drives in WV, which I'm sure I'll make this fall, but for now the roads here are good enough.
