I am considering a purchase of a 2012 countryman S AWD but am curious if anyone has increased suspension. I'd like to increase ground clearance by about 5 inches.

Mine are very minor. Changed the front indicator bulbs to silver, park lights changed to Osram Cool Blues and fitted a sports antenna.

The black grille comes with the Aero kit (front/rear bumper & side skirts) I had fitted, you can buy them seperately though
JCW Black mesh grille kit - R50, R52, R53 | BM51.13.0.140.259K at www.minigenuineparts.co.uk

Try ebay or the classified ads on all the MINI forums for the black mirror caps

Carbon Fiber door handles installed a few days ago they look tits, think I am going to paint the chrome headlight rings its alot easier on the wallet than carbon fiber covers at the moment. I will try and get some pics up, but seem to have issues with this every time I try.
