Hein, do you have another picture looking straight down the side of your Clubby? I am interested in seeing how they sit with the fender flares. They look awesome

Wow! The red reminds me a little of the redlines that I had on my old Triumph. Good job!

Happy Motoring,

Nope. That's the factory aero kit side skirts with the Cooper D front facia.

BTW, nicely done Hein.

So how did you modify your Cooper D exhaust into an MCS exhaust? Any pics?

New Clubman

Just picked up my Clubman S this week. Love it! Almost 300 miles on half a tank of gas! The manual shifting is so smooth and fun.

Thanks everyone! Love those checkered mirrors, they add so much personality. I may have to add them later. HTclubman - those custom racing stripes are awesome! LadyGodiva - love that white chocolate interior.

Yes that is MOD! Chris was great to work with. Is that a Pure Silver Clubby in your gallery? Did you get it from MOD? That is the color my husband really wanted but I liked the PW so he is going to have to go for PS when he gets his own MINI. Who was your MA? Are there only 2 there?

Yup. Did you have to order yours? I waited over 3 months for mine. I have a Pure Silver Clubby with black racing stripes. I was influenced by a guy at work who had a Mustang with the same paint and black racing stripes. I was surprised that I could get my Clubby painted the same way and thought, why not? Oddly, Chris, my MA said that when they finally got my car, other customers wanted racing stripes too! I think there are three MAs but I may be wrong. If you ever wind up with another Clubby, make sure it's Pure Silver. To me, my Clubman LOOKS like it's moving even when standing still. You can't go wrong there!

Great Looking car, what size wheels do you have on, they look great.

What part of Germany do you live?

Happy Motoring,

Larry
