Used the A-Piller vinyl and installed over the gloss black trim piece. It has to be cut to fit, and since the checkers are angled, having something that cuts straight for you helps.

One piece isn't quite enough to do both passenger and driver sides. I have the passenger done and enough to do the piece over the start button, but not enough for the piece to the left of the steering wheel.

Ayces - great photos - I love your interior. The red color line really sets it off.

I noticed you did an nav accessory - which did you purchase and do you like it? I didn't get the nav package and want to buy one now so I'm looking for recommendations.

I have a TomTom 540 XL that was in my prior car. Mine doesn't have traffic updates, and with the traffic in my area, it is definitely an option I would get when it comes time to buying another. I like TomTom's interface and like all the customization options.

I have the navigation hooked up to a mount from Craven Speed. Strangely enough, the XL series requires the Garmin mount from Craven. It works nicely. I was also able to reroute the cord through the steering column which really cleans it up. Also when I leave the car, a hat covers the nav nicely. I keep this one in my driver's door and throw it over the nav when I leave. It completely covers it, and since it matches the car, it looks like it belongs there.

^^Great info - thank you. I love that it had the boot of the Countryman too - so it looks like "your" car.

Well, I had to load the car as well as the splash screen onto the gps. TomTom makes it easy to load them on. If you or anyone else needs a particular mini made, I can make one (pm me).

Also here is a picture of the mount. It attaches behind the tach.

Actually the springs have not been installed. Love the JCW Aerokit, makes the ride so sturdy if you will at higher speeds..I'll take some more pics tonight, just had 35% tint installed..

Looks great, I didn't think I would want my wife to tint her's but your's looks very good with 35%. Ours is in production as we speak and is supposed to be built by 04/02 so we still have a ways to go!

Make sure you throw up more pics of your car after you get the h&r's on!

No, It's Big Bear. My wife immediately took off to Southern California to visit her daughter, and they sent me the pic back from Big Bear Lake.
I get to drive it to Flagstaff next weekend for my first real seat time in the Countryman.

Very nice Steve! I really like the white/white/white combination. Even though I ordered a black roof, I'm drawn to any color CM with a white roof. Well done.

I figured I'd chime in, and join the R60 Light White Owners Club. I've had mine since last July, but just got around to NAM recently. I have some more pics in my profile.
