I was washing my Clubby today and when I was drying it I noticed that it says in very small light letters "Clubman" on the passenger side doorsill, underneath the club door. I always thought that there was no Clubman branding at all on the car!

Kinda cool.

 

I have had the Clubman for almost a year and just noticed this about 3 weeks ago. Very subtle, unlike the rest of the car.

A nice touch.

Have to confess that I did notice this right away...but then again I have had a few MINIs and probably was primed to spot it. I like it.

 

I guess that's it, I'm just a MINI noobie so it took me 8 months and 10,000 miles to notice it. :P

 

No problem, it's much better that you've been enjoying driving than noticing this stuff. Now here's one for you - I did not notice until I traded my '04 in that I had never removed the plastic covering of the "running board" with MINI on it! True!

 

there was a thread on this since about april 08

 

I'm going to go outside to look at mine right now, so no you're not the only one .

 

all of you are obviously guilty of NEVER hand washing your Clubman.
there must be some form of punishment for this.

 

Hey now, don't be giving me that attitude. I have been hand washing my Clubman weekly since day one. Never once have I set foot (or wheel) in an automated car wash, nor do I ever intend to. I am just as, if not more **** about my washing techniques than nearly everyone on this board!

... hence why I'm so surprised I never noticed it before!

 

ok, you are forgiven

 

My car is less than two months old and I've hand washed it twice myself (the other two times were by a detailer) and one of the times my hands were bright red for about an hour afterward from being so cold .

So whereas I hadn't washed my last car twice in a year, I too hand wash my car and had not noticed this, though it usually is dark by the time I'm getting to the interior...and if it's any consolation I printed my Christmas list from Griot's but Santa didn't bring me any of the items (though I'm currently stocked with Prima stuff) .

 

I've had mine since April and have to confess that I never noticed it! And yes, all spring, summer and fal I hand washed it.

Has anyone noticed that the front seats, particularly the passenger seat does not lean back onto the back seat if the passenger wants to take a snooze?

 

My MA told me about this the day i picked up my car. I did not even have to ask.

 

Irony... the largest MINI has a the tiniest logo.
