R55 Official Hot Chocolate Owners Club
Brace Yourself! Chocolate w/ A Twist of Orange
Posted in the Show Us Your Clubman thread, but had to put em' here since this is my true home!
Went from:

To This.........................




Switched out the JCW R105's and went w/ Ti Model RE 18"x8" w/ 40mm offset. I had to remove my front spacers, but they definitely give me a nice, wider stance!
My good friend Mark (OrangeCrush) is telling me I now need to go with an orange roof, but I think I;m going to have to let this sink in for awhile before I consider that.
Definitely won't lose it in a parking lot now.

Thanks for the official membership number!
Greg Davis, I really like the orange. It really reaches out and grabs you!
lonestarbuzz, enjoy your Metroplex motoring! In the last couple of weeks I've found that the Mini is just the right size for getting by on the shoulder when traffic is backed up on 635. Or 121. Or 114.

I'm just afraid that with the high sides of the Clubbie roof, it would look too overdone(?). I'm just going to let things settle down for awhile.
I'm trying to get my Land Rover project done and this car has been a HUGE distraction for me.
How about a Lincoln Continental painted MINI Cooper Hot Chocolate Brown (with a MINI Pepper White roof)?

Jeezums. I somehow keep getting bumped from this thread!
Spent the afternoon on some serious cosmetic communing with the Clubman. Banished SWMBO's Fiesta from the garage (for a day) so I can drive it at least once without a full coating of dew and crap.
Welcome to the recent members!
Greg, FWIW, I'd leave the roof black. Orange would be bold, but I think it would take away from the impact of the wheels and other accents. Maybe you could get someone on here to photoshop in an orange roof for you to look at to help decide.

Hi everyone! I'd like to be part of the HC owners club; picked up an '011 HC Cooper Hardtop 3 weeks ago! I'd like to upload photos but can't seem to do so from my phone (I don't have a computer at the moment). Any tips?
If you have an Android phone you can upload pictures to Picasa (download Picasa Tool app for free). Once pics are saved in album in Picasa you select picture and hit "more options" button at bottom of screen, then select "copy web link". Paste the web link into box under "insert image" when you reply to a thread. Good luck and welcome to the club.
