No rubbing issues at all!

You're giving me incentive to do something similar to my clubman.

What springs/kit did you use to lower yours?

Nice picture smetje. Looks great. Do you have any pix that show a side view of the Clubman with those wheels? I have the same colors as you and am trying to determine if I should go with all silver wheels or if the combo black and silver might look good against the blue/silver color.

SebM, where did you get the 'Ring roof graphic!? Now I wish I hadn't gotten a sunroof for my Clubbie so I could put one on. BTW, have you actually driven your Clubbie at the 'Ring? I would love to do that but don't have the guts to. Racing veterans say it's probably one of the most dangerous tracks ever made. The great Jackie Stewart didn't call it the Green Hell for nothing! I saw an online video of it and holy cow it's LOOONG! One Formula One commentator said tracks like Francorchamps and the 'Ring separate the men from the boys. He has no idea how true that is! Now, ironically in the 'Ring video I saw, a German girl was driving an M5 around the track and she fared pretty well considering she was dodging slowpoke bikers the entire time. She put out a pretty good lap time when you factor in the slower traffic holding her back.

The sticker was made specially for me. A company who is doing advertising stickers for cars and else. It it not available at the N'Ring shop near the track like others stickers...

Yes I drove my Clubman at the N'Ring in March... not so many people as the weather was bad, so it was much safer than you can see in a lot of video... No motorcycle this time... I went two years ago with my Lotus Elise and it was a little bit more tricky... Anyway if you stay humble and don't want to be the fastest (by the way you cannot... friends who knows well the N'Ring said that you have to do more than 100 laps to begin to know the track...), it will safe enough to enjoy it !!!
For me it is not a real track... it is more a mountain road without speed limitation and where everybody goes in the same direction... but it is so exciting !!!!!

The German girl is Sabine Schmitz (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabine_Schmitz)... the M5 taxi driver of the N'Ring... it is her job to drive on the N'Ring...

I hope you will understand my English... not so good sometimes...

I photoshopped a desktop wallpaper looking out of my future interior out to my future HzB Clubman S (using OLarryR's exterior shots)... still just dreaming at this point, haven't ordered yet.

Cool thanks. With those spacers do you have to use longer lugs or will the factory ones work?
