I've said there are no ugly Clubman out there, but the suggested paint job would be just plain nasty.

Nah. Not bus-like enough.

I do want to change the appearance, but it'll be a simpler affair. Of course, after the vintage races (with all the Lotuses), real BRG with yellow stripes and wheels is very tempting.
