Bahollings - Sweet ride!!! Almost like mine on the outside, but I have a PW top. Do you have any interior pics? I agree...this much fun SHOULD be illegal.

Ambidexter - Congrats on your Clubman!!! I'm jealous of all the New England driving you've been doing in yours. We're stuck here in the Texas heat and nowhere to go. Can't wait to see the pics!

I saw my first Clubman in my town today - a HC, no less! We play the "Cooper" game with the kids all the time, and we name the color when we see it. Well I spotted the one today and was wondering why it was brown, then realized what it was!!!

Do you have the self-dimming rear-view mirror? I have it, and I notice it works fine with the tint in the back. But I never had it without the tint, but I can tell its working when the approaching car's lights look a little green, and the surrounding road or foliage looks darker than when there's no cars behind me.

I went with the 20% tint all around. In the dark it is harder to see like when backing up. I know my mirror still darkens but with the tint I would think it is far less than with out tint. Either way it works out to look just like when I had no tint.

I admit the interior isn't near as pretty as the leather, but my last 5 vehicles including my wife's RX350 all have had it and I feel I need something that will wear better over the long haul, I intend on keeping this for as least 5 years. I added the oak/cream just to give it a little color because it is a little dark.

Good morning, I'd have been here sooner, but I've been out driving the "Boss's" clubbie. It really is a nice car . . .

It has been a little while but it is official now. I have to update my signature! I took delivery of my PW/B JCW Clubman today and it is awesome! I will post some pics this weekend for everyone if I can stop long enough to get some taken!

Hugo is beautiful. Congratulations!

I didn't like stripes when I ordered my Clubman, but they're starting to grow on me. I especially like yours that are on the barn doors, as well as the bonnet. And the Lounge leather looks wonderful.

I'm envious! Will October ever get here?!

Hugo is a beautiful Clubman, but I'm partial to your combo...

Are those of you with Pepper white happy with your color selection? I've already ordered my "Clubby" and have been reconfiguring ever since. Thinking about Pepper White because I really want the lounge Hot Chocolate leather. Any thoughts?

I love the PW color. Did Black roof to match the C pillars and rear bumper. then Black sport stripes on hood and back doors. I kept going with the Black/Cream theme inside with the Piano finish, Cream Line and Black fabric seats. If I had more money to put in the car, I would have gone with the black leather. It's really the only thing I would change about my Clubbie. I've gotten a lot of compliments on the color combo. (but Chocolate looks great with the PW too!)

Here's a couple of pics:

yo riches10!!! she's sweeeet! mines waiting at the distribution center. very similiar to yours. only difference is the seat selection. i opted for the hot chocolate leather/cloth interior, for comfort reasons, hot seats while in the sun and leather sag and finally cost. cheaper than full leather. blk cloth looks great with cream line interior
can't wait

i did much configuring on miniusa.com and after 5 years . i decided on pw/blk. i did leather/cloth hot chocolate. hot chocolate interior looks amazing. doesn't matter if its full leather or 1/2 cloth, color combo is classic.

Sounds like a great combo. I had an upper limit on my budget for this car so I decided I could live with the fabric seats. Hot vinyl seats was also a concern. No regrets so far!

If your at the VDC, you should have it real quick like!

heck yeah, I love the PW/B combo.... It's a classic color. I have the Tuscan beige interior. Love the combo and it's cooler for Florida. I thought about HC leather and the Carbon Black Leather interior but the tuscan beige just worked best for me.

For me, and many out here, will tell you that they spent many days/hours trying to figure out what combo they want. It's probably the most important thing about your MINI.
