How about a Kite Blue Owners Club?

I did a search or three and didn't find any clubs for Kite Blue so I thought I'd start my own. Here's mine.

Thanks, I've not seen another like it.

I'm toying with a name, how about "The Wild Blue"?

I'm a USAF retiree.

My car was ROTM for Feb in the metroplex mini club, and then another kite blue clubman won May, totally unique as it had matching color roof.

Yep, yours looks great too! I've never seen a Kite Blue around here, but not big city, like you. I see there's still no one volunteered to design a badge. Wish I was artistic, I'd do it. I'm a fair mechanic, not an artist! Take a look at my Gallery, you'll see the PW coupe that my wife now drives when I found this one for me.

JCW Aero

Thanks Eddie,

Mine's a factory install, but while on the lift looking around the other day, it doesn't look like it would be a difficult install. Looks like almost everything is bolt on and plastic push-clips.

Yeah, I just have to save up the money. Just spent a bit on sprint booster and NM strut bar, not to mention a JB+ a few months ago. Next on my list is a Helix intercooler. Then maybe the Aero kit

Bayswater edition, which was Kite Blue, was available for Model Year 2012. It was also available through 2014 on the Clubman.

I don't know off the top of my head how long it was available on the Coupe/Roadster, but probably later than 2013.
