However, the grill things are replaced by equally odd looking black trim that look like filler pieces. They make it look as though some rear lighting option was supposed to go there but you didn't order it!

Ha! I'm looking at my car! (Well, almost...)

Your Clubman is nearly identical to mine, with the big thing being the checkered mirror covers. I specced those, but was kind of wondering what they would look like - now I know! They look great.

Sadly, I can't put the checker cover on the inside rear view mirror because of the garage door opener.

Enjoy your beautiful Clubman! Ours is being delivered this week, finally...

Hope your MA sent you a larger version! My head would probably explode if, at the end of weeks of waiting, that was the first glimpse I got!

Keep 'em coming! Checking out other people's CR/B Clubbies is just about the only thing that makes the wait for mine bearable...

Very nice - stealthy looking! Did you install the roof rack and how does your Clubman sound with the rack on when you're on the highway? Noticeable? I think it looks quite good with the Clubman.

There is a good amount of wind noise (at least there is with the additional bike rack), but with the radio on you get used to it...

Ah, well, thank you. I will probably end up getting the roof rack, but may wait a bit. Many thanks for your reply. I remember my old VW Bug's roof rack was quite noisy - but I've heard good reports on this one.

I like this one!

One of the few colours where the striping actually works!

agreed William. The blk stripes look great on the chili red/blk combo. If i had ordered mine instead of taking one pre-configured with the launch package off the lot I'd have got that color combo for sure.

356mike - is yours the regular "chili red" or is it that new night fire red? I'm wondering if the color in your photos is accurate?

Congrats to you and Jupiterfish on your Clubmen.

You can't get nightfire on the S, so it has to be CR. But yeah, I think the image may be a little washed out, hence the orangish tint.

Right, hard for me to remember what colors go with which versions. Thanks.
