damn you guys and your BBS's

is there a similar lower priced alternative on the market? I can't fork out the cash for the originals, but they look so damn good on the Clubman

Just buy used like both of us did.....you have to spend a little elbow grease to clean them up, but they can look good as new.

With that being said....ASA offers some nice BBS-style mesh wheels at a lower price which is another alternative.

I own a classic Mustang and all the Shelby's had the driving lights match the stripe placement. On the Cooper S with the racing stripes the factory location for the driving lights match the lines.

Personally I felt the lights should follow the racing stripes and thus I customized the mount.

We are gald to be back in the Mini family (we sold our 2003 to a freind when we moved from Canada to SoCal.

My wife and the kids love their MINIXXL (liscence plate)

Having fun,

Grady

I collected my Clubman today. One photo in my gallery. I decided to spend my time driving rather that to do a lot of photos at this point. I can add more later. Motoring at last.

I should be able to post some photos in a few days (possibly this evening). The weekend is coming up and it will be....... ROAD TRIP!

I am glad a few people like the colors I chose. I am really happy with it in real life. I wasn't able to see many examples in real life before I ordered. I am also quite happy with my interior. I thinks the piano black with chrome interior looks classy. It blends well with blue trim sport seats and the anthracite head liner. I will get some pictures of the inside posted before too many more days pass.
