So many color combinations . . . there aren't too many that look really bad. Because of my location a lighter roof is more practical than black. And those summer trips to Vegas or Phoenix where it is over 100 degrees will prove wise to have a lighter roof. I love the H/C color. It seems very unique for now and I think the color is catching on! Just my $0.02.

 

Your Hot Chocolate combo is without doubt the classiest colour combination on the clubman - it's even better in person, particularly with the cream trim line and wood trim dash.

 

After spending some time on the Mini Configurator, I have to add Black with Silver roof to that.

 

Hot Chocolate with HC roof and black trim!!

 

Speaking of roof colors... I'm dying to see a Hot Chocolate Clubman with a BLACK roof. Everyone who gets HC seems to get the silver roof.

I'm thinking HC/B would be smokin' hot because of the more subtle difference in the two colors.

Got Pic ? Anyone ?

 

Agreed...with wide black viper bonnet stripes...along with a silver pinstripe on the outside of them, and run just the silver pinstripe over the black roof.

<<Austin Powers voice>> Yeahhhhhh BABY !!! <<end Austin Powers voice>>

 

Too bad they don't offer the clubster in Space Blue, I'm kinda partial to that with the silver Maybe in 2009 ?

Cheers,

One of the "local" MINI dealers has a HC/B Cooper on their lot. Here's a couple of pics for you.

 

Thanks... that DOES look great ! All you silver roofers, take note !

 

Psykacz, Nice shot! Did the dealer install the driving lamps, or are those from the factory? If dealer, can I ask what they charged, installed? My dealer quoted me $800.00 installed, which semed like a lot to me.

 

I think we'll keep ours . . .

 

That's just beautiful!!!! I think that PW is my favorite non-metallic Clubman color.

 

Thanks, we rolled it out of Moritz this morning. Now home safe.

 

That's very unique and cool... I like it.

Still like black on HC though.

 

They were factory installed. I would definitely look around at the threads about driving lamps as you will find a variety of opinions, most of which will point to installing aftermarket lights....they are priced lower, better quality, etc.

 

Nice!

Do you also hear a difference in exhaust sound? To me, the R55 sounds better.

Also, your cars could use a lowering

 

Thanks!

Not yet. The Yellow car is just about to turn 16k and it is developing a growl that I really like. The white car left the dealer yesterday with 8 miles on it and is still popping and sizzling as the first heat cycles work their magic. The clubbie is very quiet. I love the looks of the clubbie exhaust and wish the aftermarket would develop a rear valence and duals that look like the Clubperson for the R-56

I kinda got over the mod bug after the first three, I think I'm gonna leave these two alone for a bit.

 

I noticed a big difference in sound after about 400 km. (+/- 250 miles)
