It looks pretty cool when they are lit up

Awesome! Thanks for posting this! If I didn't know better, I would think I was looking at something taken from a spaceship

Well...less than 2 weeks into ownership and I have started modding my Dooper!!!!

1st issue for me was to remove the "rap star's blinging teeth look" from the front of the car by adding the JCW bumper/grill combo....and a set of spots for good measure.

Next stop....The Pirate's workshop on 30th for some quality personal stripes

Looks mean .... Where did you get the front bumper from? Did you order the whole R56 Kit and sell the rest?

What stripes are you getting?

You can order just parts of the kit if you want.

Thanks
Only ordered the bumper and grill.........they are available separately in the UK.

Am having Viper stripes with additional "pin" added.....black on bonnet and barn doors, pepper white over the roof. Am just a little unsure whether or not to go for something along the lower sides of the car....it looks very long and very plain when viewed side-on

Gave the car a good waxing and did a little more work on my custom suspension. Close to 4.25" drop now

I like looking at MINIs even though I have one, not sure what that makes me.

Anyway, love your BRG and tan interior. And your posted pics are superb.

Carry on.

Thanks!

('fraid I can't match the lovely shot above though as I'm just a happy snapper.)

Did some work with Zaino yesterday. It came out about as expected. The process was Clay, Z2, Z6, Z2, Z6, ZCS.

Also playing around with HDR photos for the first time.

Yah it's still sitting just a tad higher....about .25"

I'm gonna look into designing and machining my own front tophats to see if I can get lower.

Vaper, congratulations on your newest beauty! I have to say that after seeing yours and proximal's PW/PW I am very sold on that combination. Having seen it on the MC, I wasn't as taken with it, but on the Clubman it really looks great! I'm becoming more and more of a body colored roof fan.

Rally - great shot!

And do all of you have your photos linked in to The Flickr Clubman Pool http://www.flickr.com/groups/mini_clubman/pool/? If not, I hope you will - it's a great resource.

Just a note of thanks to all who post pictures. Those of us trying to order a Clubman have almost no inventory to look at (at least in my area) to see what anything looks like beyond a test-drive car or two, or a tiny questionable representation on the configurator. Colors, options, combinations, configurations - if it weren't for your pictures, we'd have to spec most things almost blind. Your photos are really appreciated.
