R60 What did you do to your Countryman TODAY?

I will do that. I am having them painted the absolute black tomorrow to match my car. Right now they come flat black and they looked great but I wanted to match them. Couple other friends have them as well and one hasn't glued them on yet and he has gone 120 mph and they are still there.

There's a thread here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...tallation.html and there's another thread in the CM how-to forum with a link to the factory instructions.

As it sits today...2 months old today...sorry for crappy cell phone pictures but after I get it finished and detailed this weekend, I will get the camera out. Only have the rear lights rings left to add. Hoping to tackle that tonight. All depends on the baby and if he gives me time to get into the garage.

Just put a complete set on and it came with hardware. The tape is just to help hold it flush against body. Definetely use the mounting hardware, pretty simple stuff + you reuse a couple of the OE bolts.

Pretty straight forward. I only bought the fronts but I will buy the backs as well - it will balance the look. I am impressed with the quality.
We love our MINI - my wife has never been so excited about a car before the CMSA4.

After helping my son move (hauling stuff to Goodwill etc), my car was trashed. Lots of cardboard "crumbs", spiderwebby stuff and leaf matter from the occasional cloudbursts. Add to that, she was already dusty. Today I did the first "complete" interior detail. This car cleans up so easily.

Gotta love our surf blue babies!
We went to Houston on Saturday and mine has been covered in bugs but it's been raining all week so no chance to wash yet. Hopefully soon! Good thing MINIs got a clear bra.

I got my tires rotated. Man, the dealer ship wanted something like $75 to do it once! I ended up calling Discount Tires and bought a lifetime rotation/balance for $68. I have had very good experiences there too. I still wonder why Mini could not have just included rotations in the 3-year free maintenance plan...

Did the mic swap!
OMG my fingers are tore up from sticking them in those plastic holes. It was like some type of torture!!! After about 15 mins of wiggling and jiggling it around I finally got it done. But it felt like an hour with all the pain!!! I have small girly hands too. I can't imagine someone with sausage fingers trying to do that. Helped a lot when I got a LONG set of needle nose up there though. My right index finger is all red and cut up. Haha.

Blacked out grill. Plasti Dip RULES!!!! It came out ok. But before I started taking millions of clips off rings or taping off spots I want to test it on something a little less obvious so started with the grill. I will probably take it off again in the next few weeks and touch up some of the spots but from about 2-3 feet it looks AWESOME!!! Really love this front end.

Grill looks sick btw.
