I am going to order a NFR clubbie come December (I'm waiting for the Sport package to be available). I am still deliberating over what options I want, in particular the interior. I'm really digging the wood trim, with the lounge leather black seats (I think the little hump would annoy me on the regular sport seats). Has anyone seen pics of this combo, not on the mini site?

Here is what else I am getting:


Nightfire Red Body Color

Black Roof/Mirrors

Black Rear C-Pillar Trim

White Turn Signals
PACKAGES
Premium Package

Automatic AC
Dual Pane Panoramic Sunroof
Wood Sport Wheel w/Multifunction
Cold Weather Package

Heated Front Seats
Heated Powerfold Mirrors & Washer Jets PERFORMANCE
Dynamic Stability Control

6-Speed Getrag Manual

16" 5-Star Blaster (Perf. Run Flats)

Front Fog Lamps

Rear Fog Lamp

Xenon Headlamps w/Power Wash
COCKPIT
Bluetooth and USB/iPod Adapter

Sport Seats

Center Arm Rest

Leather: Lounge Carbon Black

Anthracite Headliner

Dark Grey Color Line

Interior Surface English Oak

On-Board Computer

Alarm System

Would love to hear to hear what you guys think based off of what you have. Any suggestions would be awesome.

I can't wait until December

Rieux, I guess we will be in the paint shop together this week! I have a scheduled completion date of this coming Wed (9/17). lilliux, I am getting the lounge leather as well, but I went with the cream line and piano black trims. I should be taking delivery in early/mid Oct. and will be posting pics then. I loved the English Oak interior too, but I liked it best with the beige interior, and ultimately went for the cream line to match the piping on the Lounge Leather seats....too many decisions!

I have been reading a lot of posts and they are saying that the creme is very hard to keep clean and at the same time the PB attracts fingerprints and likes to scratch easily. The reason I am going for the clubbie instead of the coop, is for my german shepherd, Niall. I can only imagine what a dirty dog would do in a light colored interior.

I think the Wood finish would be A1. We can't get that finish here in Canada unless you're ordering a high end CoopS....I really like the wood steering wheel and shifter **** concept...even with black leather...and PB? = Peanut Butter! hahahaha That might be great if you own a dog!

You think that they would offer free jelly to go with it

Peanut butter is the new duct tape. Works great as a moisturizer, spackle, water sealer, goo remover...

Hey, they let me in, ya gotta figure they cannot be too picky.

Peanut Butter is an indispensable tool in the OCD tool box. When you're not removing goo with it, you can have a snack while buffing. Show me another product in the OCD arsenal which is that versatile!

All you really have to do is cover everything else in bread and jelly!

Don't remember what thread I was reading, but I found C-pillars to match the body color of the clubbie.......

Peanut butter also helps to keep the nuts from running loose all about the world creating mayhem and other unsightly messes.

Although,...it does not match the body color of any Clubbie, to date. Unless....well...chocolate brown could be a dried up peanut butter,..I suppose.

Dried jelly?

Anything as long as the lint was prevented from invading our space!
