Updates to '08 Clubman S

I thought this might be a good day to post some updates I made to my 2008 Clubman S. This car originally belonged to my father who passed away earlier this year. One thing that he and I shared growing up was a love for cars and working on them. He really loved his Clubman and wanted to do several things to it before he passed. Unfortunately he wasn't able to get them all done. He did install racing CAi with ram air scoop the day after he bought it on our last trip together to '08 MOTD. I thought it would be kind of cool to cary out what he wanted to do and then some. For father's day my boys suprised me with some nice leather bits from Redline. I think they really enhance the interior. So here is the list: M7 Splitter, Katzkin Tuscan leather interior in palameno piped in black, Redline shift boot, hand brake boot, armrests and door pulls, Kuda mount with Dice G2 cradle hooked-up to parrot MKI 9200 bluetooth system, Magnaflow exhaust, SS mesh grill and a brushed steel hand brake handle . Let me know what you think. Updates to '08 Clubman S-sam-s-1-communion-2010-117.jpg
