Hum....interesting...I'll have to see if I can find it. I've not seen it in any of the brochures, etc. I'll check with our local parts department Manager. Thanks!

The covers are $350 I believe. I'm picking up my CR/B Clubman tomorrow and I want to get one of the covers too. YOu can see them on the MINI USA site under accessories.

I don't leave my cars out in the sun, well at least not the MINI or BMW, so this is essential equipment IMO.

My MA said there will be wooden panels or something that resembles wood coming out on the Clubmans. He mentioned it when someone was looking at my Chili Red Clubby and telling me it needed wooden panels.

I was really impressed with your Flickr photos. Your Clubman in BRG (which I think will be my choice when ours is ordered on Friday) and its interior is such an appealing combination.

Thank you all for your comments! Yes the car is a beauty. Had not been inside a Clubman until last night when my MA handed me the keys in the showroom. The car does look much better in person.... Pictures don't do it justice. Access to the rear seat is fantastic with the Clubdoor. I was able to climb back there without having to move forward the front seat. The car is tight and solid. In case anyone is wondering, the car has a clearbra installed and 26% tints all around. They were done by a local installer friend of mine while the car sat at the showroom. He did a wonderful job! Further impressions and photos will follow up in the coming days. The interior has black leatherette seats, checkered dash/door trim and gotham grey door panels. It looks great and gives the car a very airy feel inside. If anyone is on the fence about the leatherette... Get it! it is very nice and durable.
