Very good looking color combination!:thumbsup:

YUM! :nod:

Save your money on the Milltek. Sounds just like stock unless you get a downpipe. Also, the guy who put mine on complained that fit was not great and he had to get a few pieces custom made to fit....I've had Milltek on other cars. They do make good stuff, but I just don't think it helps with our car....

Stunning! Awesome!

JohnJohn,

Do you know if there are sizes of Orange Solaris InvisBulbs available to replace the single back-up light on the 2008 Clubman S? It is way too dim.

The Solaris bulbs I used are basically amber bulbs painted lightly with chrome paint. They do this so one can remove the orange look from the head lamps and side scuttles. They may make them in white, but that would really defeat the purpose of the change.

I am wanting MORE back-up light. I have a pretty dark tint so at night it's difficult to see behind. I am swapping the US driver-side tail light with a European passenger side. This should give me back-up light on both sides...with a little wiring.

If you make the backup light mod please post pictures and steps.

Great looking car!
