My MINI Clubman

Just thought I'd show you my 2nd MINI, an 08 Cooper Clubman
Spec was as follows:
Feb 2008
Lightning Blue with Silver Roof
17" Pace Spokes
JCW Aero Grille
MFSW
Colour Line - Pacific Blue
Cloth/Leather Ray - Pacific Blue
Chili Pack
Here it is when I got it:






First mod: Clubman Estate badge

I wanted some stipes on the car, so on went some vipers :D
Old stripes off:






I also ordered some factory JCW side scuttles from New Mini Stuff and an S filler cap from Woodmans


So here are the final pics as the car sits







I have since changed the grille back to the original cooper chrome grille, as I prefer it with the viper stripes, however, once they come off the JCW one will probably go back on








Thanks for looking, I do like my piccies

Nice car, love the stripes.

Some of those pictures brought back memories of the neighborhood I lived in when I lived in Banbury Oxfordshire England.

I drove a 1972 Mini back then for a few months before moving back the the US.

Looks great! I love the stripes - especially the reverse stripes on the roof!

Cheers!

I've considered the black grill and extra lights for my Justa Clubman, so I appreciate the two versions of your grill that you posted. It's nice to see that lightning blue again too. Great looking car, and it inspires my tendencies toward mods.

What'd I do? I assumed the Estate badge came on the British cars, can you get it in the US?

Nope, I found a Brit website for classic Mini's. They sell for about 12pounds which can be about 20us. I will have to do it next week when work allows me. Let me know if interested to give you the website.

A lady called Nicky - NickyJ is her username over on totalMINI.com makes them - all proceeds to charity - I don't know if she will ship to the US but you could always ask!

http://www.totalmini.com/forum/90-ba...t-one-too.html

I have one for each of my Minis with customised colours!

Are the white repeaters stock or aftermarket? I HATE the orange ones, they look just tacky, not to mention the black scuttles.
