Hello all,

We just picked her up last Saturday. Her name is Zoe Jane. CR/B/Premium/Auto. Lucky for me the dealer already had tint installed, makes her look that much better. It's 30% fronts/18% rears/15% barn doors. Make it nice and cool in the hot FL sun.

My previous car was Subaru WRX and they had a close knit group, but after reading quite a few posts in here, I see this group is just as tight (albeit a better age group for me).

Thanks in advance for the warm welcome. I have seen many great cars through this thread. Keep'em comin'.

My missing anthracite headliner finally came in this week. It changes the look and feel of the interior so much -- for the better! I had fun a while back installing the Whalen shift **** and Redline boots. The MVT (Most Valuable Tool) in both cases was, of all things, a 1-1/2" spackling tool; I used it to help pop off the OEM ****, and do various prying tasks for the shift boots. Cocomats finish off the interior. I also had the tinting done while it was in. When my bank account recovers from the past two months of the Clubman purchase + accessorizing, I'll start looking at new wheels.

Just joined the CR club myself; I put a deposit down on an 08 CR S this weekend. I'm currently renting my parking space so I've decided to get a bit of paintwork customisation done while I wait. Can't wait to see what it looks like - never did like the silver anyway

Oh I will do. I'm already thinking of cool places in Vancouver to take shots of Deano when he arrives. I've already got the article ready to go on my site (needforspeed.com)

Has anyone got any photos of a Chili Red Clubman with colour-coded sills and wheel arches? I'm tempted to get this done but want to see it first.

I can't believe that I haven't officially joined the club yet...

I have about 4k miles on my Clubman. Blacked out the beltline yesterday and planning on getting the windows tinted in the next few weeks. I also really want to add viper style stripes from bumper to bumper but still need to research where the best place to buy them is...

Deano!

Deano has arrived! We picked up our Clubbie last night and it feels fantastic to be back in the Mini club again.
