My wife and I picked up "Wicket" our 2009 Clubman S 2 weeks ago and were lovin' it. We've put about 2000 miles of pure fun since pick up. Hopefully we can get some better photos, we are both not very good photographers.

Shot fired over the bow?



And it's a toolbox, not a MINI, but it matches!

BuzzCut1?

Your R55 looks great. Question, I just bought my first R55S and I am in Florida where we have PLENTY of sunshine. What is it that you have on your sunroof to block the sun? It looks like they are not see-through. I am looking for an option to keep the heat out. Thanks.

we tinted the windows and sunroof. Driver and Passenger windows to the CA limit and the sides , barn doors and sunroofs to the darkest film they had

It's a baked on polarized Ceramic Film

Mfg is Global Window Film

Product is NR Quick Dry Plus

since we had the tinting done the Clubman's AC handles 100* days like a champ. When parked I alway leave the sunroofs tilted up for venting and the inside is warm but the black leather seats are never hot to the touch. Best upgrade we could have done

oh and from the inside all the glass is quite see through

Buzzcut,
Thank you so much you are a hero. I have been searching for someone with the same car as me so that I could get first hand info. Thanks so much for the product info as well. Was it very expensive? I have been looking at some of the ceramic stuff and am getting quotes of $350ish. Seems high for tint but I don't know much about tints. Thanks again.

no thats within $20 of what I paid and I have no regrets what so ever. The optic quality is great, no ripples or bubbles. The Polarization really cuts the glare and the heat reduction is awesome

More pics for those of you who might like to see what it looks like to have the Hot Chocolate interior option with "Interior Color Carbon Black" which means the door panels are black instead of the normal Hot Chocolate color. IMHO, I think this option looks better with the top of the dash (black) and the anthracite headliner (std on JCW).

My plans include replacing the Cream White dash pieces and front armrests with the Hot Chocolate color line from the convertible - identical fit so no issues.

The rear armrests will probably be the carbon black/dark grey as the convertible has no rear armrests, hence no Hot Chocolate pieces available.
