Unfortunately, this is the last pictures of my Clubman. I sure loved that car!
Three car crash happened in front of me, and I was far enough back that I got stopped without getting involved. Sadly, the two cars behind me didn't. Both hit me from behind pushing me under the 4x4 Dodge truck. His trailer hitch sticking out 8" played havoc with my engine. The car held up well, and my only injury was an air bag burn on my arm. Apparently my hand slipped off the shifter and busted the screen on my brand new double din stereo that I had installed. I'm gonna miss her.

I'm really sorry for you MINI also considering that it wasn't your fault.
I don't want to twist the knife in the wound, but just out of curiosity would you point me to some guide / how-to and a shop where I could buy all the things needed to install a double-din car stereo in my clubbie?

I installed a doube din into my club using a guide they provided.
It came out quite well.

Here's my 2010 R55 JCW, got it last week after a very long hunt, to replace the F56 Cooper.

It's got low miles, and a decent spec, so nothing much planned apart from tidying up a few bits and replacing the run flats.

Congrats, she's beautiful. Love the Aero kit! I also have a 2010. When I pulled my BPV, it was so dry, it basically crumbled in my hand, so worth a look, and possibly upgrade (and call it maintenance).

Otherwise, just drive her hard, and enjoy. Monitor oil (because yeah, she's a MINI)

Thanks guys, I really like it being all white, had almost 5 years trying to keep a black roof clean.

I've been checking the oil, and it came with a litre bottle in a nice MINI pouch in the boot (trunk).... probably a sign.

Beautiful work! Is this painted or wrapped? What's the cost? The vinyls on my Clubby start to wear out and I also have some debts in the paint, I'm evaluating the possibility of fixing it or wrapping the entire car..

Thanks everyone. It's a matte metallic root beer wrap using 3M material. Also had all of the chrome deleted using satin black also 3M & had the tail lights tinted. I've been very happy with the durability of the vinyl, the whole job took about 4 days and 1500.00 for the vinyl & labor.

My JCW Clubby has been awesome for hauling stuff since I picked it up.

From 4 dining room chairs to catering orders for work, im aways surprised how much stuff the car can swallow.

Still getting ~30mpg while running Stage 2 Mariokart tune/hardware. Loving every mile!
