I'm new to NAM and very close to placing an order for a Clubman (am scared and very excited). I'm sitting on the fence between the Clubman and the CRV and the only reason for the struggle is because of my dogs. One color option I am considering is Horizon Blue with a silver roof. I prefer a black roof but because of the dogs, I think the light roof might be smarter. I MUST have roof rails, so I'm wondering if you could provide feedback on the aesthetics of a silver roof with black rails. Thanks for any input!!

 

Check out the pictures on this link. This is a Horizon Blue JCW Clubman in stock in Atlanta that has the silver trim. There are several pictues on the page. Good luck with your decision. I have had my first MINI since June and it has been the most fun car I have even owned in over 30 years of driving.

IMHO the silver is definitely the way to go. It looks especially better aft than the black would.

As for the racks, are there no silver racks out here? In a pinch you can get black ones powder coated or painted silver fairly cheaply, couldn't you?

 

There are several posts in NAM with pictures of large dogs riding in MINI's. Check out this link:

Regarding color I like the Horizon Blue with silver.

 

Overcome your fears and put your order in, the sooner you do the sooner you will be driving your new MINI!
