Nice, Standard as in 6-speed manual standard transmission ? Is it an All4 also ? Very hard to find a 2019 All4 JCW 6-speed, the last year for them.

Yes! 6-speed manual, ALL4, Iconic. Took a lot of searching, as you mentioned this was the last year. I ended up having it shipped from another dealership to mine.

Have you thought about one of the performance upgrades you can get after market to improve horsepower? The one that doesn't rewrite the original coding doesn't affect your warranty. From all the videos I have watched on these I think that may be a solid choice. I should be fine daily but if I take her up into the mountains, I would like more HP at that elevation as my experience is that if you lack it you will be dragging going up the mountain.

I use them NM power module and you can definitely feel it in your *** dyno. 😂 Also on a real dyno. 👍 Google it and see. Others use JB or Dinan. I’ve seen to many failures on Dinan so IMO stay clear.

I do wonder if the Rennline skid plate for the F56, would mount up to the F54? https://www.rennline.com/Rennline-Al...oductinfo/U06/
Yeah thanks, I was pretty chocked...I am definitely going to look into a skid plate as I am lowering the next clubbie for sure.

Cheers

While I continue to lament the loss of this F54, I have just placed an order on a well-optioned 2021 F54 JCW but of course I won't see it until May. In the meantime I have ordered some Duell AG carbon side skirts, Eventuri Carbon intake and KW V1's in the interim...all from ECS and a big thanks to them in helping me sort pricing and shipping as getting it all to Canada is a pricey venture. I'll have to resort to stealing the wife's Q5 until I get my own ride sorted...

And yes, the color is almost the same metallic burgundy on both cars.
I know this is an older post, but I just made the SAME trade! My XK Convertible for the Clubman! I miss the Jag already but am really enjoying the Mini too!

48 Hours after delivery: such fun

I have had my Mini F54 for just over 48 hours. I love her. It is such fun to have a manual transmission again. (Although I admit I wish it had more horsepower and torque as well as a better exhaust.) Spent the last 2 days installing on the things I had purchased during my 3 month wait. Basically if it is chrome, I am making it black. All badges where possible are black. Black bonnet scoop.

48 hours after 3 month wait: well on my way to covering all the chrome

Love the black badges, license plate holder and barndoor handles....and so glad I got the functional black bumper protector.

My 2021 Clubman had a puddle light coming from the door handle. I had purchased Mini logo puddle lights to replace plain lights in the bottom of each door, so now the driver's door (only) has two. It looks really neat as the designs are different.

When not installing bits, I am sitting in the car reading the instructions and taking her out for a drive.
Have a couple things ordered, a black cover for the chrome piece across the grill and black tail pipe tips. I have to redo a couple pieces of the beltline trim and install the black jack decal on the moon roof. I am considering lightly tinted windows (charcoal) and either having my wheels/rims powder coated black or if I find I just can't stand the run flats, getting a set of summer wheel/tires with regular performance tires. I am glad I didn't get stripes, she is a lady not a girl! Wish I would have gotten black wheels right from the start, but as I was ordering remotely and could only see what was online, I wasn't at all sure whether I would like them on the pepper white car.
Cant remember the last time I had such fun!

I ordered my 2022 Clubman JCW this week, this will be our 3rd Mini and our first ever new Mini. Love seeing all these pics, can't wait to share mine once it arrives. I'm kinda surprised, but my color combo (White/Silver with Red roof and stripes) so far was not shown in this thread.

I just saw one a few days ago, it was amazing!
I wish I'd bought this instead of the worst color ever (Enigmatic Black w. red roof). So sensitive and always looks dirty.

Fabulous car, I was going to look at one from 19 in the fall, but before I could leave the house it sold. I don't think they stay on dealer's lots for long. You would think Mini would get the idea that there are customers who want better engine AND manual transmission. (Of course in 9 years it will be all electric)

What do to mean be 'sensitive' in regards to the color? I think it is one of the nicest looking colors actually.

There is never anything wrong with a black car, until the day after you wash it ;-) I had a black F-150, that took forever to wash compared to the panel real estate on the Mini

Is the bumper protector dealer installed? Having owned Clubman's for 10 years I think it's a great idea.

It's extremely scratchy and looks dirty 5 minutes after driving, especially at the back with no option for mudguards on the JCWs.

Check out the link for mud flaps for the F54. Yeah really dark colors certainly show swirl marks pretty easily and are higher maintenance. I am really debating getting a ceramic coating. Mini's look good in most colors but I didn't want a color that is too common like white, silver, black, etc. I like that the enigmatic black has that metallic blue quality.

Congratulations! I just picked up my 2021 Clubman JCW and I have started to de-chrome gradually. I just swapped out the chrome MINI logos for OEM black ones. The OEM gloss black handles for the barn doors just showed in the mail today and I'm hoping to swap the chrome ones out for the black ones this week,

Did you swap out the entire barn door handles or did you get the stick-on gloss black covers? If you did swap out the chrome handles for black ones, can you please share the instructions on how to go about swapping out the handles. Thanks.

Finally cleaned up for spring. New pads and rotors. Got my springs installed, chassis braces, painted dash the dash trim body color. Got a sexy fuel thingie that was apparently broken and threw a CEL. Couple new bits in the mail. Nice to get to chat with all of you. Certainly a nice distraction from incarceration.

Looks great! What are your wheel/tire specs and what wheel brand? It's a different look and I like it.
