been hooning around in a cooper clubman for the past day or so. only had done 20 miles when i got it so brakes, tyres and engine still very much bedding in but even so was fun.

seemed guttless after my cooper s, low mileage surely not helping.

still not convinced on the looks. the colour/wheel combo doesnt work on this imo. what do you reckon?






if i was going to get one id have these wheels, in lightening blue biggrin

You Hooligan

The colour is awful - would work best in blue/silver with rear tinted windows - and with being an S

You can only use the 3rd seat in the rear if you are a child too. Having this 3rd seat makes it uncomfortable compared to the "bucket" style of the 2 seat option

Think i could live with the side door setup

Needs bonnet stripes smile I think the rear end needs to be offered in body colour, I think silver looks too plasticy. Black looks more professional but it wouldn't be my choice still. I do like the NR colour, just not on a Clubman with silver. Pace Spokes look much nicer too IMO smile
