Brandon Martin at Sewell Mini gave me the following part number: 51139812759
for the R60 Cooper S Grille. He said it should fit my 2011 Countryman.
Might check this out and give them a call: http://mini.sewellparts.com/index.php
I ordered the larger cupholders from them and they are very good about shipping.

Removed about 20# a couple days ago, and today trying to figure out how to pull the dash out to get the sound deadening behind there. Also planning on doing a radio delete as well (going to install a simple AUX setup to play music). That should all drop another 20# or so, and then custom exhaust is next. I'm estimating the custom exhaust should drop about 30#. Putting me at a total of about 70# off the CM All4 once I'm done.

Painted Scuttles
So today I had the time to remove, prep, prime, paint and clear the side scuttles. The factory gray seemed to oxidize, and nothing seemed to help. I ordered light white paint and the appropriate primer and clear coat. It took about 4 hours for everything, including time between coats.

Had a custom exhaust installed. From 2nd cat, 3" pipe to dual 2.5" exit pipes. Dropped about 30lbs, putting the CM All4 around 3150 lbs now. DP is going in soon, tune should be here early next week. Going 3" from DP back with resonator in the mid pipe.
Sound video:
Next is... more weight loss. lol. 5# Li-Ion Shorai battery will be going in next, dropping about 14 lbs off the front. Then we'll see from there... goal is 3050 pounds. Trying to see if ACPT will make a CF DS for the CM All4 to fix that weak point in the OE driveshaft.

That sounds awesome!

Thank you! I did lots of research and decided to take a shot at it. Glad I did. Does feel like there's a little more low end, peak feels like it up a tad bit and moved a bit to the right, but spool also feels earlier. Throttle response is way better (Rev matching is effortless now) and top end feels like it pulls a little harder for a split second. Will need some sort of resonator with the catless dp, but overall impressed how the system took the 3" pipe and shines with it. Tune should make it feel better... :D

etidd01 "Installed Ziza front position LED bulbs...much better Will probably upgrade fog light bulbs in the near future as well."
Thanks for the orders or the Ziza Position Light LEDs and post up some pics when you have them installed.

Installed a 2.5" Downpipe. Goes into the OE second car, then into the 3" exhaust.

Super easy. Most annoying part is that most of the work is blind. Just need to turn the bulb connector to remove from the housing and swap in the new bulb.
