    Like this at lot better than the Coupe, but only with the roof down.

    So, you want a MINI with the inside coated in red shag pile?

    I say this however I think when I see this in flesh logic will go out the window.
    I have never been a fan of convertibles but love the look of this. I can't swap for more than 2 years but like you can't imagine being able to manage with no rear sears.

    Actually it was split 50/50, some liked some hated. There's pretty much universal hate for the countryman from the people I've spoken to....

    Looking at the above picture just confirms my thoughts, looks great with the roof down, but like a pram with the hood up. In fact I would say the hood on the Roadster looks more out of place and is a worse fit than the convertible. Can't imagine what it will look like with a bit of ware over the cross bars?
