New Clubman S owner!!! Ice Blue/Black

Hi all. Just picked up my new 2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman. Its Ice Blue with black roof, black C-pillars, and black 16's.

This is primarily my wife's car but I am looking to make it a little more aggressive. I like this color combination and think this will look even better with tinted windows...

Thanks.

Try a custom racing strip or maybe an A-panel wrap. As far as performance and handling, a 19mm rear sway bar and a cold air intake is a good start.

I figured Detroit, given your name. Welcome!
A stripe or two would look nice, even if just on the hood. I did a black beltline. That's a quick, cheap mod. Around $13 for the tape at Outmotoring.com.
The cold air intake is a nice performance, but doubt your wife will like the added noise. I added that and my wife can't stand it.

Some CAI are not loud at all (e.g., DDM Works Street Intake).
