I love the wheels and the stripes! Do you have any pictures from the front? I'm thinking about replacing my stripes with those.

And the back (unfortunately, before I had a chance to pull off the dealer sticker).

Yeah, you just opened the door to the most powerful addiction I have ever known. I wash and detail the interior of my MCs every week without fail, sneak peeks of it from my windows, make flimsy excuses to run errands, and have begun to utter phrases like "hey you kids, get away from that car!" about 40 years too early Say goodbye to sanity
And nice looking ride

My 09 GTI was just totaled, and I'm thinking of replacing it with a Clubman S. Does the white silver look more white? Or silver? Hard to tell from the pics.

Hey Howeber!

Take a look at it in person. I had a hard time deciding if I liked the color when viewing on line - was really pleasantly surprised when I saw it outside on the dealer lot.

Not really white. Not a true silver. Takes on a different color personality depending on light...sometimes silver, sometimes more white, sometimes a lovely light gray.

Good luck - sorry about your GTI.

This may be subjective.... To me it looks more white than silver which could be why they named it "white silver" and not "silver white". But the advice to take a look it in person is spot on.

Quite true, Mysticeti. Even when she looks more silver than white in bright sunlight, it's still a very light, or white, silver... not a true silver.

BTW - what are you using to polish/wax your W/S to best highlight the color? Easier, for me anyway, to polish a darker color to bring out maximum relectiveness and pop - - still trying to figure out what will look best on Koop.

Thanks for all the advice, that's what I was hoping. I'm excited to see it in person.

It's unfortunate about my GTI (got slammed into in a parking lot), but now I get to go car shopping! Always fun.

Hey All, Recently I have been busy and couldn't make time to visit forum, sorry for the delay to add the new members.

Also wondering if someone can accept the responsibility to maintain the list? please let me know who would like to be volunteer.

Thanks.

New member, first MINI, 2011 White Silver (Soho) Clubman S

Hello,

This is my first MINI, although I have been an avid aficionado since my first visit to the UK in 2001 when the original Minis were covering London. While the Clubman was always my first choice, I found the contrasting c-pillar/back corner panel less than appealing. The USA "White Silver Edition" (or "Soho" in the 2010 Italian market release) featured more traditional color styling with black c-pillars and body-color lower panels. However, MINI also mandated black star bullet wheels with this package. I opted for purchasing the R99 17" rims instead and the dealer swapped the tires and purchased the black wheels from me. The interior is all black, with black lounge leather and headliner, auto, nav, etc. I have had it a week and truly love it.

So guess I'm not official yet but it's on order. Hope to have it by months end. Ordering white silver for me was a no brainer. As soon as I saw it I knew that was it. Will post pics when arrives.

Add me to the list!

Just returned from MINI of Peabody and ordered their first White Silver Coupe! Since one cannot order WS with a body color roof (?) It will be the darker silver color for the roof and mirror caps. SHould actually look pretty sweet! Build week 36! It should be here around the beginning of October!!!

Going to order a white silver clubman soon. Does anyone know if it's possible to have the C Pillar black instead of Silver? I like the black star wheels and had the rest of the package in my build already, just not a fan of the silver C Pillar.

I'm in SoCal. Looked up the Mini you speak of though. Wonder if a local dealer could have it transferred down here or something.
