Here some pictures of my Clubman. Equipment very basic; metallic paint, white turn signals, anthracite headliner, chrome line interior. Upgrades so far include Joey mod, JCW grille and trim, rear seat delete. 18" O.Z. wheels are on order. Springs will be next.
Since last July I put 13000 happy miles on it.
More pix in my gallery.

Swisskid, my Clubman is almost exactly the same. The only differences: standard headliner, racing stripes and 5-spoke Blaster wheels. That's it. Everything else is the same! They're right about that old saying: great minds think alike!

Thank you for shooting a new hole in my wallet. Now I'm SERIOUSLY thinking about having my fenders painted too because with painted fenders, your Clubman just looks STUNNING. Unbelievable. Why doesn't MINI make this an available option?

It is true that I have make all the pices chrome-plate in black because I did not like the result with the laser blue, I wanted tempted the interior of lighthouses before but I do not know how to make . Your laser blue is beautiful, it is rare in clubman, I am the only one has geneva this conbinaison, here clubman is hot choco or dark silver or astro black

Thanks,

First off, congrats on your new Clubman; the body color roof looks great!

A couple questions though; as I study your interior pictures, I am confused by the fact that your seatbacks look different than mine. Ours have a circular fabric insert on back with storage netting attached. Also, your folded rear seats don't appear to be split in the center as mine and all others I've seen are. Since we both have US spec. '08 models, was there anything different or unusual about your configuration/order?

He doesn't have rear seats. He lists a rear seat delete as one of his mods and what you're seeing is the cover/floor piece for the seat delete

"Lurking" That's funny

Just an observer until I find something of interest to me, like cool new/different parts.

D'oh...my bad for not catching that! I was focused on the oddity of the pix and forgot about the text. Thanks for pointing it out. Still not sure about the seatbacks though, perhaps some aftermarket covers?

Wow, how small can the world get? I also spent almost a year of my life in Zollikon. It's a small town just a few minutes outside Zurich. It was okay. I just found the Swiss a somewhat odd bunch. They're very quiet and yet, nosy. They're somewhat old-fashioned and yet very efficient too. Loved attending the local Streetparade festivals (clothing optional!) No, I did not go in my birthday suit! It was FREEZING both times I went. Plus, how do you carry your spare camera battery and memory cards when you're naked? The guys kept getting drunk and leaped off the bridge into the Limmat, which I know was absolutely ice-cold. I cannot believe nobody drowned or died of hypothermia! PS, never have I been to a spot surrounded by so many gay people! Makes San Francisco look like a different world!
I've been here and there and can't list all the places I've seen:
Zurich, Zollikon, Rapperswil, Schaffhausen, Stein-am-Rhine, Geneva, Basel, Lausanne and a few others off the beaten path.

How do you execute this mod? Links? Costs? Installation? Been wanting to do that on mine at the least expensive cost.
