My 2017 S



And with the THULE Rack,

 

wow 19s look really really good on the clubman

 

Nice, glad to see people ordering up the 19" newer MINIs can fit some larger wheels.

 

Thanks, the previous owner had them added from the dealer, take-offs from a JCW. With RunFlat tires they are not good in areas where there are a lot of potholes - Tire Damage
I just added the non-runflat tires, 235/35/19 and they absorb the bumps better + I now have the Road Hazard on these in case of any bulges.
In the Fall I'm going to get some 17" wheels, like this 66.56 / 66.6 Center Bore & 5X112 bolt pattern (I really don't want to use Centering / Centric rings) and just use the 19" in the Summer.

 

+1 on non funflats for smooth travels. Those TD wheels are nice i have the 4x100 ones on my R58 JCW.
We have spare kits also for the F54 and F60. https://www.ecstuning.com/b-assemble...36116851507kt/

 

Sorry ECS, I went with DT on the spare tire kit - Spare Tire but will definitely be ordering parts from you also, love your site.

 

No problem, we are here for anything else.

 

Being stuck at home with everything going on really sucks. but the good thing about quarantining at home means I've got a lot of time to devote to the clubby. In the past couple of days i've:

Debadged the rear
Vinyl wrapped the headlight rings
Wash
Claybar
Polish glass
Polished body using Griots BOSS Fast correcting creme

On the To do list:
Polish with Griots BOSS perfecting creme
Griots ceramic Wax
wheels
trim





I'll be sure to post pics of the final product. In the meantime, in an effort to make the car look a little "cleaner" does anyone know how i can black out the front and rear reflectors so that they match the wheel well trim?

 

Your Clubman looks great. I'm still waiting for ours. In the past, the best option I have seen was to track down Euro arches. 14 years ago I did this on my R50. The Euro arches don't have any reflectors. Thus far, I have not come across anyone importing the Euro arches for the F54. I am definitely interested in a set though.

 

Thank you. I have some other goodies on the way so hopefully it only keep getting better. I did notice in some f56 pics that the reflector was gone and then i saw the shape of the plate and it clicked. im going to test some plastic dip on another surface and see how close i can get the color to match. Found the part numbers...

According to ECS, it'll cost about $400 for all 4.

 

I'll be curious to see the result. I wish someone just sold some nice smoked lenses. I still may get the full set of arches. Thanks for digging that up! That isn't a top priority though, I still need to get the car.

 

I’m quarantined until Thursday so I’ll give it a shot tomorrow. Should have good weather over here. You could order them and have your dealer put them in for you so it’s good to go when the car arrives.

 

Finished up a few more mods today. First up, I plasti dipped each of the four reflectors on the arches. I can't tell you how happy i am with the way they came out. So happy that I put together a DIY here...

Next, I eliminated a little more chrome by putting on black jack side scuttles.


Last but not least, I put on the gloss black grill ring and bar. I got them and black jack scuttles from outmotoring.com. First time using them and they arrived super fast.


Has anyone ever thought of drilling out holes in the gloss black center piece and relocating the fog lights to there, similar to what the clubman concept had?

Which lowering kit did you use that fits a Clubman S All4? It says Eibach Pro, is that the spring kit? I didn't think there was a lowering spring kit that fit the all4 other than the Scnitzer which is no longer available. Is it an Eibach coilover kit? Even those I only found listed for the FWD.

 

There it is, the S in Cooper S! Clubman S All4, on a "S" road in the Countryside of Sweden. #Eibachprokit #michelinps4

 

Great shot, nice work! BTW, is that a MW Gray??

 

I also posted in the JCW forum but I found a JCW Clubman in the color I wanted in Tempe and got (what I thought) was a good deal so it's all done. Traded in the 2014 JCW Coupe which was a great car too. This car is a lot more comfortable but even faster than the Coupe (which has an ECU tune on it). And the 8 speed transmission is superb, I even like using the manual mode which I never did in the Coupe. The stereo rocks, I can play my HD albums no problem on my new iPod. I like the exhaust sound too. There are not hardly any of these new JCW models on dealer's lots in the SW right now, I checked San Diego, Scottsdale, Tempe, Tucson, Albuquerque. This was in Tempe. Anyway it's a great Mini, best one I've had (3).

 

Thanks! Melting Silver. / David

 

That was my other guess, they look very similar in the right lighting.

Are teaser pics allowed? These are my jcw wheels that I just had finished in melting silver. Going to put on some adam’s ceramic wheel coating tonight and if weather is good tomorrow I’ll mount them.
