Hey y'all,
Going to be purchasing a PW/B Clubman, black bonnet stripes, premium pkg, comfort access.
Still undecided about interior. Seems that redwood leather which was available for 2008 isn't on the configurator anymore.
So, I think the next best option that I like is ray cream/black leather/cloth, with cream color line, and piano black interior.
Anyone have this for the the interior? If you have any pix, I'd love to see them.
Thanks alot.
Redwood leather was never available on the Clubman, only the coupe. The Clubman offers hot choco leather which is not available on the coupe.
Ray Cream is new for 2009 for the USA so it will be a few months before anyone here will have it.
For 2009 Ray Cream cloth/leather replaces Pac Blue cloth/leather which is no longer available on the Clubman - just the coupe.
Hey RadishAttack, thanks for the great picture. That's better than I can find on the mini site. Do you have one of the exact same config. except with black lounge leather?
I ordered the Ray Cloth Cream/Leather with Cream Line and Piano black on my Clubman (Nightfire Red/Black exterior). I am worried a little about keeping it clean, but it looks like it will be stunning. I think it is a new combo for 2009 so I doubt we will see live car pics for a while - I am in week 38, one of the first 2009 runs, so as soon as she arrives I will post lots of pics. RadishAttack, thanks for the better rendering, that is really getting me excited about my choice!

The HC lounge leather is a great look for the PW Clubman. The cream piping and bolsters are a good match to the car color and the brown leather is somewhat darker and richer than it comes across in many of the digital camera shots. The vinyl door panels match nicely too. I chose the wood inside trim. Here is a shot of my car from the outside
I got the black lounge leather with the white piping. The Hot Choc leather was too orange for my tastes. Its not the color I think of when I think of chocolate, but most people love it!

Apparently the ray cream was available in the UK in years past. I found some pictures of it. It looks great to me. I have it on order for my PW Clubman now.
I specifically asked my MA if the cream part was cloth or leather because the configurator seems to sugest that the cream is cloth (which would be impossible to keep clean) but he said no, it's leather.
Here are the shots I have found so far:
You can see some of these shots in even more detail if you click on them on the site that hosts them:
Ack! I showed the rendering posted here to hubby, so proud because I think it looks awesome, and he HATES it (I mean really hates it) and now we are back to discussing options for the interior. He thinks it is too "busy" and sporty and hard to keep the cream bits clean given the family use of the car.
URGGGGGG. He did look at it on the configurator originally too and kind of liked it. Now I think he just wasn't paying attention to me when for the millionth time I said "Honey, loook at this combo...." and he just gave me a "yes dear, it looks fine...".
Back to the configurator.
