Welcome Evo! Nice Justa Clubbie. Good luck with the mods. If I may recommend, the DDM Cold Air Intake (CAI) is a great addition to the non-S R55. It was one of my first mods.

Thanks for the recommendation! I was thinking of adding one, just wasn't sure what was a good one to get.

Congrats! That's awesome. The perfect honeymoon getaway vehicle. The added boot space can come in handy...

Back in June at the monthly Caffeine & Octane meetup here in Atlanta my MINI and another one got into a fender bender. Resulted in damage primarily to the front bumper as well as a slightly bent hood around the headlight. Made me sick, but it also created an opportunity. I had been looking at doing more mods prior to the accident, and since I was going to need a new front bumper I figured what better time to upgrade to a more aggressive look. Decided to use the insurance money to help pay for an all new full JCW aero kit, which for those who don't know it is incredibly expensive. Definitely couldn't have done it if I was just doing a straight up swap. Anyways, the end results got me what I've wanted and maybe just maybe will halt my mod fever for a few months.



This was the previous version shot at the same location a year ago...

Are those satin silver mirrors? If so, that's hot. I've always liked that finish.

Same silver as my roof & boot trim. Not sure if that's the satin silver color, but I definitely like how it helps the mirrors have some contrast.

Were this the Countryman forum one might be inclined to make a "cram it in the boot" joke.

Seriously, though - congrats on both the recent nuptuals and the sweet Clubman!
