Jcw MINI Clubman
Discussion
Thanks for the kind words all, much appreciated
Also nice to see that the car is making some people take another look at the Clubman too
I'm too old for all that stance stuff Matt, I'm trying to achieve 'the look' with everyday driveability too , the car gets used for everything from early morning hoons with other tuned MINI's, shopping, picking my grandson up from school occasionally, & will see the odd track day & rwyb at Santa Pod too.
The Recaros can be bought on the second hand market, quite rare that they come up for sale though to be honest, I got these new from a MINI dealer (Rybrook MINI in Shrewsbury), I'm sure most MINI dealers could get hold of a set if asked.
You can get Recaros from other brand cars to fit without an awful lot of work, at least these bolt straight in though.

Couple more updates to the Breadvan as it's been christened .
Got hold of a pair of factory Joey'd (black) headlights for a bargain price, also had the colour coding done too, headlight rings/fuel cap/door handles/bonnet & boot badges/side repeaters, + I wanted to try something a little different & had the Jcw badges painted too, but picked out the word 'Works' in black...
A set of oem MINI DRL's have also been fitted too
I've got a very small, cheap from ebay keyring camera which is ideal to velcro to the back bumper & record some on the road sounds from the exhaust (sport button switched on )

Been a little while since I updated the thread with a couple more mods, removed the spotlights from the front to give it a much cleaner look, & also have had a pair of custom made vented A panels fitted too, really nice job & look very oem (imo )
Made the most of the recent good weather too & had a run out with a few other MINI mates, the BC Coilovers performed really well, handled the A roads around Banbury nicely , ended up at a lovely spot for a few snaps...
