Looks fantastic!

Can you order the "Joey-Mod" lights in Canada?

Congrats!

Is that a coolant temp gauge next to the tach? Is it OEM?

I's a JCW temp gauge, installed from my old Clubman at the dealer before picking it up. JCW pipes: courtesy of SlimJim (my unofficial muffler supplier, thanks Jim!), installed last week...
Black Xenons: $75 option (much cheaper than DIY)

Where'd you get your "TOW" decals?

Again, fantastic spec/look!

Damn Steva, replacement for Brown Sugar?
Great color combo and the specs; JCW leather steering wheel correct?

Tell me, the rear black fascia cover that underneath the club-doors, is that an OEM part, molded as apart of the new rear fascia, or something all together different?

Yeah Erik, she had to go...

Correct on steering wheel. Bump guard is a molded plastic piece (matte finish) ataches by 3M tape, that I dug up on UK eBay last winter in a search for something else (those English did invent Mini after all). It is a great fitting piece, only thing the shipping was more than a price of the part. Could not resist as I hate "clear" vinyl option that is available for Clubman in North America...

UPDATE:
As of this morning she looks more and more like this:




A visit to Shinzo Media in Markham, for a "A panel" black wrap. Real pictures coming once we get out of this miserable weather....

I am just picking up that same color combo

Love the black wrap on the front fender, i assume you did this
as a trial , so no paint at first.

Can i get a wrap like that at any place that makes that material ??

I am in So Cal, so there must be a few around.

Best rear spoiler for a Clubman S, ??

Thanks,

I'm all over that black wrap A-panel. I was hell bent on it until I decided to freeze mods for a spell to ease the financial burden. But eventually they'll go on there. Looks GREAT on pepper white.

But you helped in the modifications of others

Your replacement looks great Steve! I was just talking to a shop yesterday about doing the same fender treatment. I'm also considering doing the roof, A, and C pillars in flat black.

Here is the update:

























Still waiting for JCW Aero conversion Kit for 2011. so I can mount front and rear bumpers. Also, some wrong trim parts (2 left fog light trims and 2 left brake air scoops that came in the JCW Aero Kit , so replacement is back ordered from Germany...).

Few more weeks of fun, before PEPPERNSALT goes to winter sleep...
