Hello all! I am a proud owner of a new 2011 Clubman S, just picked it up this past week! I have been lurking around for a few weeks before I picked it up and I have already learned a ton! Thanks!

-Chris

Welcome!
Pics are required and always appreciated.
Did you buy off the lot or order and torture yourself?

These are right after we picked it up, i'll post better pictures later.

So far I have installed a Cravenspeed Garmin Bracket, Hardwire V1, VEI V1 Display Gauge, Cravenspeed Gauge Pod, and working on a few other things. I will have pictures of everything once I get it back from the tint guy this afternoon.

Edit: Forgot to mention I took the front plate bracket off, I'll show you what I did later

Well here's the story about the front plate bracket... The dealer had to get the MINI from CT and deliver it to PA... While he was on his way up I asked him to make sure they don't put the plate on the front, and come to find out the other dealer had already put it on... long story short, I got some nice black rubber fittings to cover the holes, I'm not too worried since my four Hella 500's (black Magic) are enroute right now and they will cover it up

Here's a pic of the rubber fittings:

Edit: The 2 smaller indents in the bumper to the left and right of the rubber fittings are I'm assuming where a euro plate would be mounted, they aren't too deep, but deep enough I notice them every time I look at it

Some more pictures of the new addition

Garmin 1490LMT and VEI V1 Gauge, both mounted on Cravenspeed mounts


Anthracite Headliner (figured I'd post a picture since there aren't many on the forum)

Very elegant solution, Chris. I would recommend that you go over to Aesthetic Creations and get something to cover those silly warning labels on your visors (http://www.aestheticreations.net/vin...cstickers.htm). They bothered me worse than the bumper dimples! Nice ride.
