Register at Photobucket or somewhere, upload your pics there, and paste the IMG links into your posts here.

This way you can post the same pics in posts at different forums without uploading all the time.

"ahhh, no."

But they look cool on your car (with the silver roof).
FYI - stripes on the Clubman are silver, not white (to match the silver roof), so if they actually put White stripes on your Clubman, that would be some unique Clubman!

You might consider having the dealer remove the stripes altogether and putting your own on. You can get some neat options from:

I like the Shelby stripes myself, down the middle of the bonnet. A little different.

If we had ordered our car new, I might have skipped the stripes altogether, but I do like how they echo the C pillar paint accents at the rear.

My left stripe has a couple of scratches on it unfortunately. I've read up on removing them, and it seems very difficult. One day I might explore having them professionally removed and replaced with something a little more unique.

Your mini looks awesome! I like the body color grill trim and headlight rings. Where did you get them? I've got a Lightening blue too.

thanks! i had the stock plasti-chrome painted at a local body shop. they're pretty easy to take off and if your shop knows what they're doing they're pretty easy to paint.

Just got my H&R springs installed a few days ago. My car is kind of dirty, but I figured I would take some pictures since it's so nice outside. I'll post some more when it's clean.

Here are the before and after shots.

Yay! Finally had a chance to install our checkered flag mirror caps, wash the car, and snap some pictures on a sunny day. Here's one, with more to come. Still less than 300 miles on the odometer.

Hi all, I became a Clubman owner on Saturday (MINI #4) and loving it . I'm still getting used to the different (non-hatch) styling and 2nd gen features. This one is a JCW Clubby, Horizon Blue with silver roof and mirrors over Hot Chocolate cloth/leather interior. Will be doing some stuff in the future: probably red mirror caps, silver sport stripes, and window tint.

Ok, so I am a photography guy and could not leave my prefect Clubman CR alone. A little funky I think...
