R60 What did you do to your Countryman TODAY?
#1776
Well it didn't happen today, and i have been living in DENIAL... but began to say good bye to my countryman whom surrendered its life and kept both my mrs and my daughter alive and without a scratch as they were side swiped and pushed off the road by a distracted driver in a rush...
She took a direct off set front steel concrete curb at 30mph plus on drivers side and no intrusion was made into the cabin... the insurance company and the repair facility decided whats involved in the repair was too close and she was written off.
If you are in NYC/LI and are interested in some of my spares just PM me with an offer... don't have time to mail so pick up in Queens or Copaigue LI
NM lowering springs (new never installed)
SCANGUAGE II (removed)
BLK mirror Caps, (removed 7/2012)
Original Interior vents & Mickey Head, (removed when i updated the interior to 2013-2014 style)
Varied Rail accessories, sunglass, phone, cup holders etc... (never used)

Yesterday: Oil and automatic transmission fluid change at 28k miles. I know MINI states it is "lifetime" fluid but the manufacturer of the transmission recommends 30k fluid/60k fluid & filter. I'm going with that one.
Last week: Replaced the sunroof graphic as the "Blackjack" was turning red in the white stripes (2.5 years). Went to Sign-a-rama locally and had this one made. Cost about the same with install as the mass produced ones.

Can't recall what the service manual states but I know that when I called Mini of Marin and asked how much a transmission fluid change was the guy told me that it was lifetime. And then wanted to debate why I was wanting it done.
Asked him how they handle automatic transmission issues and he said the first thing they do is change the fluid. Finally quoted me over $400 to do it.
I'm right there with you...I've seen a lot of bad oil and transmission fluids throughout my time, and there will never be any type of "lifetime" oil for an engine or tranny.

Custom Stainless Steel Mesh Grille
I finally finished the stainless steel mesh grille I've been working on for my '12 Countryman S All4. I'm still thinking I might paint it gloss black...
Here's a bunch of other angles.

Looks angry in a good way. Nice fab job, looks like a Cooper S Chrome surround w/ wire mesh.

Did you clear coat your trim after dipping? Just got my air ducts painted and am thinking about clear coating them before installing.

I'm having an internal debate on whether or not to go this route...or with the original "black line" kit. I've heard the original "black line" kit is closer to gray than black, but haven't seen any in person.

It's changed a lot since I got it a few years back. I got rid of the red stripes JCW stripes, red vents and red mirrors about a few months after I got it (my son liked it when we were shopping for one so I added them for him, but I never really liked it that way).
Today I added the VIP Quad Light Bar with Hella Black Magic lights and tossed a little color on it with some green side mirror covers.

I ordered the following from outmotoring.com:
Union Jack rearview mirror cover;
Union Jack tach cover
Union Jack start button cover;
Union Jack carbon fiber tire valve caps; and
Union Jack cupholder inserts.
Thought I'd add a little color to my all black interior! I'll post some pictures when things get installed.

Not out for the LCI grille yet. We do have the Cooper S badge from the F56. Comes in sticky which could be attached to the grille with a little work or grille badge.
