hardingsan,

Love the wheels - you've got good taste. The photography is top notch also, a great setting with nice soft light. Others should follow your example.

My error, you added the JCW from and rear with Cooper S exhaust to you JAC. Looks great. It ties in nice with the standard rocker panels. I am doing a JCW front on mine with those rockers. Thanks for the pictures. I am also adding the accross the pond arches. Cool Clubbie

Just joined the forum - I'm getting my 2008 Clubman in a couple of weeks from the current owner. Currently it is bone-stock, but there are lots of inspiring ideas here. Looking forward to seeing all the things that can be done to these cars.

We're in Toronto - looking forward to bumping into other Clubman owners up here. Not a lot of them around in Canada yet. Current owner tells me this was the first BRG Clubman delivered in Canada.

BRG with silver roof and bonnet stripes
Tuscan Beige interior with Gravity Leather
Piano Black interior trim
17" Crown Spoke rims
Comfort packaga
Convenience package
Sport package
Electric front window defroster
Media Connect

...and I think that's most of it. More bells and whistles than I can count. Got lucky on the purchase. Wife and I were out test driving cars on our 15th anniversary, including a new Clubman S. That afternoon a private seller put this one up on Kijiji, two blocks from our house. Only 9,000KM (under 6,000 miles) on the clock.

Got a very nice deal on the car and fell in love with the BRG/leather interior the moment we saw it.

Looking forward to it - wife always wanted one, so for our 15th anniversary we got one (fluke unintentional impulse purchases are our specialty).

Just sorting winter rims/tires for it. Still haven't found a clear answer on impact of running steel rims without the TPMS sensors. Manual of course doesn't recommend it, but at $2000 for a set of factory alloy rims/tires, and $1500 for an aftermarket set... its tough to swallow compared to 1/2 the price for steel rims and tires.

Anyhow - the next couple of weeks will be a looooong wait but well worth it.

Hmm. We sell aluminum alloy wheels for as low as $560 a set. Steel wheels are very heavy, rust-prone, and usually have wheel covers that are prone to falling off...

NICE!!! Now I know what our clubman would look like with white stripes. We ordered black (to match our black roof), then our MA called to say, "Um I put on white stripes by accident, we can change them, but I thought I'd call first to see if maybe you'd like white instead?" To which we replied,




"ahhh, no."

But they look cool on your car (with the silver roof).

So, how do I get a full size picture to post instead of the thumbnail? I used the paperclip and attached the file. Is there a better way



Will copy and paste work?
