If you wouldn't mind that would be great.

Also, Is that the hot chocolate metallic for the iced chocolate metallic?

 

Hot Chocolate Metallic. Here it is without stripes. I really think I have to shave those lower reflectors. Looks so clean!

 

Dude, you photoshopped out the "Cooper S"!!! No really, that helps me out a lot. I really appreciate you taking the time to do that for me.

For what it's worth, I'd just keep the reflectors. I can't imagine what it'd take to get rid of them so it looks "professional."

 

Awesome Wheels! Where do you find those?

Black & red... LOVE it!

 

my 2012 Clubman

 

I like the black out you've done...the headlight rings, side scuttles, and beltline. Did you vinyl wrap those? Plastidip?

I have a Pepper White/BLack 2013 Clubman S on order, and I want to black out as much chrome as possible, so I am looking at how/what people have done. I know I can get headlight rings, the JCW grille surround, and JCW (or other blacked out) side scuttles...but I'm thinking I will want to vinyl wrap the door handles, barn door handles, and gas cap a gloss black to match the roof.

 

took a pic yesterday as i had the day off and went for a drive around the Berkeley Pier, shoreline, etc..
Tongue firmly planted in cheek

 

Maybe a silly question, but where or how did you remove the blinker from the wheel arches? I love that look...

 

My guess would be by using this...

yeah, mine are already tinted like that, but you can see in the 2012 red clubman and the black with red roof, there are simply no blinkers at all, just a nice, smooth wheel arch.

 

Possibly a Euro-spec MINI? I see Euro-plates on the car, so that would be my guess...

 

Wow... just beautiful. I have a thing for Red roofs. I contemplated doing the whole red look on my Hot Chocolate but I pussed out.

Great looking ride aph!

The Euro arches do not have blinkers. You can get the fronts and the rears from vendors outside the US. They definitely look a lot cleaner than our versions. I was too cheap to buy them lol so I just painted the blinkers Rustoleum Matte Black so its less visible.

 

New Cooper S Clubman. Fairly basic spec with just a few doodads. Pretty fun car. Just getting used to all the inputs (shifter, clutch, steering input, etc.) compared to my past couple of rides. Only 9 km delivery mileage. This next 1000 km will be painful while I break her in.

 

I have these on mine. As mentioned by others you can buy the Euro ones, but I am pretty sure it is a requirement to have them in the US (could be wrong). I think it's funny though because all Euro's I know want them and all us stateside want to get rid of them

 

Love the all Red Clubman, looks good.

 

Nice car, nice building! Where are you located?

 

Cheers! Located just outside of Hamburg, Germany. The building is my house!

I've already made a mistake or two in pre-purchases for the car. Bought a level cargo floor cover on ebay and did not fully research ALL the ancillaries that go along with installing one. Whoops. I thought one just added the support rails and done. Had no idea you had to replace the interior pieces etc. Oh well, I'll have to put that up for sale then.

Rev matching on this car is odd though. It seems like you can't just blip the throttle as it does basically nothing at speed. I have to really punch the throttle all the way to the mat to get any meaningful rise in revs. Maybe just need practice in this car.

 

Double nice!

 

Gigi, or as I like to call her, #2.

 

Some great looking clubmans on this page. I like the idea of shaving the rear reflectors, would make it look much cleaner in my opinion.

I like my behinds clean and black.

 

My before and after pics. Still some more to be done.
