Just picked up a..
a New Mini Cooper Clubman S.
It is the HAmpton Edition.
At first my Girl Friend and I test drove a base stock Clubby..
We walked into the dealership with the intention to test drive a Mini Cooper S to save money from shopping or eating..
Well after the test drive, Jessica (my GF) is very impressed by the power and handling (she came from driving a Lexus IS) the Mini put out.
After the coming back from the test drive, we walk into the office and see the showroom car which had a GReen Mini and the Hampton.
OH wow was that were it all began..
She loved everything about the Hampton...2 hours later we are driving home in the MINI Hampton!
I come from BMW and love the Euro feel of the Mini Hampton!
Im glad to join this forum as i have already learned a few things about our cars..
I will post more pictures once i get some time to snap some shots.
Any first Mod suggestions?

Rear sway bar added to list!
Is there a front lip (like JCW) for our clubbies?

Yes tints is the first mod we will be doing..
prolly 40% all around..
The ext color is pretty dark so a lighter tint would prolly give it more of a contrast.
I was looking into the front grill lights.. but then again i like the grill...

1st mod, trade your Hampton bodywork for my CR 
Then a JCW Tuning kit!
I'd love more pics, I love the Hampton colors...

As far as I know, the R55, R56 and R57 are all the same from the firewall forward...

Congrat also.
Just upgrade the rear to 19mm and you will really feel the difference. I upgrade a lot of things on my R55 but the best is the Remus exhaust. Perfect sound, no drone, high priced.
Tint is a must. The $25 turbo under hood heat shield is great insurance against scoop warpage.
My $.02 worth.
