I have made a life change. I am selling my Cadillac CTS-V, paying off any outstanding car payments or bills I have and upgrading my 08 MC for a 08-10 gray MCS clubman. My wife insists on no stripes, so I think gray is the winner. Black is nice too, but my black corvette reminds me, no more black cars. I'd like to see all of your variations, to give me ideas of what to look for. Thank you very much.

Black is beautiful.

 

Trust me, I do know. My vette looks awesome until the pollen starts landing on it, 12 minutes after washing it

 

You should check out the gallery while you're waiting for replies.

 

Thanks, will do.

 

Here ya go! Of note, the rims actually match the body color - they're greyish, not black like the configurator makes them look. They're pretty slick, actually.







I've got more, but they're still on my phone. I'll have to slurp them up to flickr or something later.

If I'm totally honest - Eclipse Grey is awfully dark. If I'd gotten a good look at it in person, I'd have ordered in white instead. It looks slick and professional, though - so if that's the look you want, go for it. Awful hard to find much to liven it up, though. It's so dark that most colors really clash, or turn invisble on it.

 

Thank you for the pics and your thoughts. My MC is Lightening blue metallic with black stripes and white pins stripes on the outside. I love the colors, but my wife wants a color sans stripes and the gray seems to be a nice choice. I have Challenge wheels on my MC and I'll swap them onto the Clubman, so i'm hoping them with some red calipers will give it some flash. I truly understand your point and will put a lot of though into that as I look. Your does look great, and that professional look is what I'm trying to grab, but I do enjoy that flash part too.

I like my plain pure silver.

 

Mine...

 

Your wife has good taste.

 

Here are a couple of shots of my 2009 Dark Silver JCW Clubman.

 

Is "White Silver" a gray?

 

That is a good looking car! You may have tweeked my choices a little

 

Here's my White Silver Clubbie.

 

These white silver minis look great. I thought they would be too light of a color but they really do look great, especially with the black headlights.

 

dark silver is the ****
I miss my DS R53

 

Skabob and I have the same color. Eclipse Gray Metallic.

Here is my new MINI Clubman in Eclipse Gray with Stripes. They actually look nice - good color match with the light stripe matching the polar interior. I think it keeps the color classy. Late to the thread, but thought I would post in case anyone was curious how this color can look with stripes.

I always liked grey. The darker the better, just scared of being able to see the scratches easier. BTW what are the specs of your wheels and tires?

 

17x7 fronts et25, rear et15. 205/40

 

Nice username. Always did like the Bone.

Nice Clubbie, Mine will be EG a red roof/mirrored JCW.
