Im not feeling it. I see that it is following the original, but it didnt look to good back then either. maybe its the body color throwing it off.
I would be curious to see a dark vehicle with light wood trim. maybe that would work.

 

Hmm...I'm not feelin the love. Maybe if they used a different kind of tree, and a nicer color green.

 

Looks kinda like someone just scribbled over a few of the panels with a magic marker. I'm not a big fan of woody cars in general, but I'm sure that it can be done better than this.

 

Wow, that looks really... horrible! I agree, it looks like someone drew on it with a marker.

 

you mean this isnt a photoshop copy?

 

Hideous.

 

even if they sold at a steep discount, I'd pass. hmm, how about we put a beard on jessica alba?

 

anything with 'Woody Passion' in the title is sure to be a hard sell

 

depends what part of town your in... not there's anything wrong with it.

 

One word: HORRID

 

missed the double entendre, you did

 

What a pile of poo

 

UGH!

 

Doesnt look like any wood I've ever seen .

 

Did they carry the Crocodile Hunter's casket in that thing?

 

Bad, bad. Exhibit A of what not to do to a Clubman.

 

That is just.....nasty..........ugggg

eww..

 

SUCKS!! big time.

 

Surely a MINI woodie can be done better than this. The trim and roof appear to be green... no good. And, what a lousy interpretation of wood... it doesn't even look like wood. I'm sure there will be better examples ahead.
By the way, I can't wait... I've decided... my next MINI will be a woodie!

 

 

Yes, that is a very weird wood treatment...it doesn't even read as wood!!

 

At first I thought that this was just a really bad photoshop job, but then I clicked on the link and found out that this is a real Clubman, with a custom makeover by an Italian custom car design outfit. I'm sure the orders are just flooding in...

 

Castagna did a nicer looking woodie "Clubman" back in '03 before there was a Clubman...they just stretched a coupe. They really did some nice interior work on these, too.
