What kind of wheels ad you running? Did they require spacers to clear the JCW calipers?

Those are the standard Challenge wheels. Black is now the stock color. Silver is a no-cost option now.

The wheels in that pic are my old Drag DR-9's that I pulled off of the old MINI. No spacers required.

Thanks for the info. I'm gonna have to look into a set. I like the idea of not having to run spacers.

What suspension were you running with those wheels? Looks like you were lowered.

So far just H&R Springs. Advertised drop = 1.4"-F&R, actual = 1.25"-F 1"-R

Way sexy! Nice pic and color combo! I haven't seen that in person yet, is the color matte or gloss? Again, looks damn good!

New to me as of a few days after the new year, a 2012 JCW Clubman. We enjoyed the wife's new 2012 Clubman S so much for the last two months, we needed another in the driveway. I traded in my 2008 S hardtop for this. These photos are from the day after delivery. Modifications are already in motion. A couple of more photos in the Clubman thread

Depends on the lighting. I'd call it more of a pearl. If you've ever seen the Camden it's the color that was suposed to be exclusive to those cars (then they changed their minds and let everybody order it. :P )

Where did you get the challenge stripes - and, how much? Is that the total Challenge package from MINI Motoring Graphics? Thanks

Thanks Adam! I think she still needs a few more red bits lurking behind the wheels But otherwise I'm a very happy camper!

If this had been available when I got my PW/CR I would have had a hard time choosing between the two.

That color in the picture looks WAY off. I have a JCW Coupe coming in the next couple weeks in that very color but this picture makes it look matt baby blue....and not metallic silver (white silver) but it is VERY sharo in person and provides great contrast with the black edging all along the front air dam and valance, the wheel arches and the rear valance....where as those details get lost on a black car...

Good color choice ;-)

Yeah, the color really changes in different light. It looked blue that day because of the blue sky above. some days it almost looks primer gray, others White.
