Another Newbie Clubby!!!

I'm the proud 5 day owner of a Mello Yellow 2008 Clubman. Love the 6 speed stick, the mpg, and generally love the car!

I'm going to add the roof rack, some tinting - mandatory in Southwest Florida unless you just want to fry like egg - and maybe some small mud flaps if I can find something I like. Might upgrade the front speakers as well if the funds show up.

Now, if it'll help attract some female company . . . .

Hey welcome! I can personally recommend the sunroof zippshades, if you HAVE a sunroof (available in the vendor section) and I would also suggest looking at rear hitch install vs roof racks, as with roof rack you may drop the bike and scratch the roof of the car, etc. I wrote up a review of installing the Minidomore hitch here:
