I know it's a marmite MINI but here is my everyday car.

Thought it was time to start a thread on my Clubman S and all the
things I have done to it, and will do to it in the future.

I bought it in November and it looked like this











The JCW alloys and big big brake kit was added later













And the moding has started sidelights were first LED's fitted.



Then it was the wing-mirror covers off with the chrome and back to red


More parts bought and fitted
100mm Mini sport aerial.
Rubber Front & Rear Floor Mats.
Rubber Boot Mat.
R56 Facelift Side Repeater Set.
Black Vinyl Wrapped Headlight Rings.
Mat Black Beltline De-chroming Kit.
Clear indicator bulbs.
JCW Black mesh grille kit.

Took some pics as I have just finnished doing the beltline.

















Before with chrome


And no chrome



[u]And here is the most upto date mods done to the car[/u]

Well the car has now been fitted with a JCW bodykit and a
set of A.P. coilovers. Took a couple of pictures today.

Before coilovers


And now with a 70-80mm drop at the front and 50-60mm drop at the back


Jcw front and back bumpers and side skirts






Mooooooooooore power is the next thing......

My other 2 MINI/minis

MINI Coopers S JCW GP




1969 Austin mini countryman




And here it is going round the Nurburgring

Not a fan of the MINI but yours looks smart with it being lowered and de-chromed. Bet it handles like its on rails.

Clubman - not liking the wheels or stripe but each to their own .......I love the brakes though.

JCW GP - epicly quick and awesome to drive.

Classic is just uber cool.

Great little gathering you have thumbup

With the Countryman rear door, if you use it, do you find it a pain being on the wrong side for the UK? OK for us in LHD world, but...
Like the cushions in the back too!

Really like the JCW kit on the clubmans, they just look so much better. Only thing it needs now is a more prominent spoiler on the roof (only my opinion of course). Top work

Hello, I just saw your topic on the mini clubman s, I own that I would like a clubman belittle ... apparently there are only making a KW coilover kit adjustable ... I see you put the AP coilovers ... what model? because in AP coilovers are not for clubman ... you took to R56 normal? is adjustable for clubman? Because I'd like to lower my clubman of + / - 70mm at the front and it is not possible with the KW kit...thank you for your answer...

Yes, yes, yes! That is the bee's knees, however Black Mirrors should finish the exterior nicely and I'm not keen on the JCW gearknob. Everything else looks great. thumbup

Massive things for Clubmans here.
