Here you go Beedub wink




MrC986, I recognize a few of the cars in your pic, taken at the recent Midlands Brekkie meet? I'm a regular on the MiniTorque forum, most of the MINI's in the pic are on there too smile

I am not normally a clubman fan, but that is a really lovely example, well played sir. The colour, stance, equipment, all work really well.

I have a cooper D at the moment that I am borrowing. Really great car and will be looking at the cooper S Works once the "borrowing agreement" runs out.

I'm not normally a clubman fan, but quite like the look of yours.

Boring practical question, but how useful is the boot? Would you be able to fit a labrador in the boot?

The boot is 'fairly' spacious (for a MINI) sagarich, it's got a false floor for storing tools/car cleaning gear/bits & bobs etc, MINI do sell a dog guard for them & I've seen boot liners for sale too, found this pic for you, closest I could find to a Lab wink

Few updates for the Clubbie..

Had an Airtec Front Mount Intercooler fitted, these look like very well put together bits of kit, should help keep inlet temps down, got a good price on it too..



Also fitted a brand new pair of Alcantara Recaros, superb seats, fit like a glove, great in this cold weather with them being heated too




With the Black & Blue theme going on with the car the rear lights were bugging me a little, so spray tinted them black to blend in with the surround at the rear of the car


I thought it might be a bit too dark, but the lights still shine through the tint ok



Just got to find a way of getting rid of the red reflectors without it being illegal

That looks stunning. Wife has an R56 MCS and its such fun. I keep looking at upgrades but she's not keen on "ruining" her car. I've got a serious soft spot for the clubmans and this isn't helping my lust.

Wheels/ride height looks brilliant as does the seats. have to say I'm not a fan of the rear lights but can see why you did it.

Never particularly liked the Clubman but I think that looks great. Good job on the rear lights too, always thought they looked a bit awkward but that sorts it nicely. Great seats!

Love it!

The boots are actually big, I assumed they wouldn't be much use.

I've just bought an R56 hatch and did not even consider the clubman. Wish I had considering how good yours looks with the mods. Serious appreciation!

Your Clubman looks fantastic, great choice on the wheels, looks just right and not trying to hard like most of the "scene" & "stance" brigade you see nowadays, and those seats, they're awesome, where were they from?

I've been checking this thread every few days now, and I must admit you've got me doing the usual searches now for a JCW Clubman.
