New to Mini and the site

Hello, I just recently became a Mini owner. I purchased a 2009 Mini Clubman JCW with the GP package. I'm already extremely happy with the car and look forward to autocrossing it next summer. Mine is Chili Red with the double bonnet stripes. It has the 17in lightweight mesh wheels with Pirelli Winter tires on it. Awesome so far in the crappy weather. Anyhow, glad to find this place and hope to visit it often.

You mean a badge? (interchageable / approx 3" dia.)

There are a ton of places like Outmotoring.com, ect.

If thats what you are referring to

And just a side note those rims are anything but light (R112 Challenge-spoke ET48 23.1lb) They sure look great though!

I hadn't really thought about a name. Maybe I'll put it up for a vote. Chime in with your ideas for a name for my mini and I'll pick one. Thus should be fun.

no problem. I forgot to link this in, though you'll see it from time to time in wheel weight/size/offset questions.

I'm also looking for a Clubman specific roof rack if anyone has one for sale. Got Bikes to carry. Obviously it can wait a bit due to the weather. Thanks in advance.
