Welcome,

You have a pretty rare one without the sunroof on a Clubman.

I have been all over your guys site looking at parts. This thing is going to be fun. Sneaking mods under wife’s nose is fun as well.

Thanks, it can be our little secret ;) Glad you caught the mod bug, I have it as well.

Welcome and Congrats. I'm on my second R55 Clubman and have loved both of them.

not much of a mod but scanguage 2 coming from you, shipped this afternoon. Thanks for the quick turn around. Should have ordered the cravenspeed Mount from you, but I must have ordered the last one from them.

May not be a mod, but super important as it can easily save you from overheating.
We do have the mounts so we can get you one, but I just keep mine up in the corner of my dash.

The cravenspeed Mount is actually on its way from them, it’s a race to see which one shows up first on Friday. Got an oil catch can do it yourself kit coming, Mini Cooper stubby antenna, and the scanguage. Merry Christmas Mini. I think the wife might have a window tint appointment setup for the 26th as well.

did you get the scissor or magnet mount?

Yes it is. Nice car! Really the dig the silver on black color combo, especially with those monochrome union jacks on the mirrors. Good score. :thumbsup:

I might need those Union Jack mirror covers on my 2015 black F55. I also like his black bonnet stripes, sporty, yet subdued.

Disregard that last part. That was on a different black car I saw on the forum. The black stripes on the black car was sharp.

I actually order the cravenspeed scanguage Mount. It should be here soon. Here is how I pissed the wife off today...and yes that is her dirty ass 2018 Ford Escape sel parked next to me.

Did the headlights today
 

Did the headlights since it’s almost 60 here in Cincinnati. The driver side was hazing over as you can see in some of my older post.

Then a quick wipe down. What a fun car to drive, and they look so good when clean.

Your Mini looks great!
Those Escape's have gotten big and bloated. I really don't understand why cars and SUV's keep getting bigger and uglier every year!

why thank you sir. Added yesterday tint, DIY oil catch can, and mini stubby antenna.

Stubby makes the #1 aesthetic change :)

that it does, now she doesn’t look like a remote control car 😉

Now you will want to get it tuned for some good power.... just do what i did and tell the wife you are doing it to improve the engine and extend its life.... it’s not good to run so lean... heh heh. It’s better for the car! Lol
Say what you want, but I pulled it off! And since she never drives it, she never reallly knew the difference anyway.
Now the motor doesn’t have to work as hard to make it go!!! Lol!
Seriously though, congratulations! Thats a great looking Clubbie! Enjoy and if you do start to want to mod or work on it yourself, this site is an excellent resource.
