It says something to the effect "your vehicle is at the dock awaiting a vessel. No other info available at this time. You are pretty much screwed. Have a nice day."

What are you having done at the dealership? Only thing I am considering is the stripes, and even the , I may do third party. Dealer costs on some things were ridiculous. Fortunately the things I really wanted can be installed at the port where offloaded.

Custom graphic and install, fair price.

Full bonnet clear bra, bumper, mirror caps, top of rear bumper, $995 installed. After seeing their installer's work and knowing the use 3M film, quite alright with that price. It's still less than I paid an aftermarket installer for half bonnet installation on my 06 Justa. And worth every penny.

Something else to keep SuperGreg in SuperSuspense that was a bit pricey but it has a lot to do with the look of my MINI so willing to pay for it.

The tint guy they contract was a bit high and I have a good source already so doing that aftermarket.

Let me take a few guesses:
JCW carbon fiber rear wing
New DRL's
Drilled slotted front rotors
Rear GP diffuser
Red GP front brake air ducts
Black headlight rings and black grill surround
18" black wheels with red lip
NM springs with lowering kit
Carbon fiber mirror caps

Am I close on any? Lol

No... already said getting custom graphic for about $500. Those are just custom colored bonnet stripes, not the option you're trying to guess.

You are getting the front hydraulic suspension that bounces and sticks a wheel in the air as you cruise the mall aren't you?

Exchanged a few emails with my MA yesterday, and besides a quote on a clear bra install, he said he expects my Clubman to arrive, and be ready for me to take delivery by July 4th! That's about week sooner than I would have expected...especially considering she is still sitting at the dock in Southampton!

The JCW Stripes are only offered in black with red pins. Having a red roof, I want them to be opposite... Chili Red stripes with black pins.

Yeah, I'm not complaining!

I also posted over in the clear bra post I started...I asked for full bonnet, front bumper, and wing mirrors. The guy they contract out to can't/won't/is unable do the full bonnet though...only the frontal area of the bonnet that a traditional bra would cover. The quote for that was $950.

On EG, I would have done the same thing... looks great ! On White Silver, I don't think I would like that look nearly as much.

My dealer quoted me $800 with a lifetime warranty. I got an aftermarket quote for $450.

That VIN will come in handy when you want to track it on a ship. In the meantime, you can use your production number to track it while MINI still has possession of it.
So, it looks like there's no way to track Canadian-bound MINIs while they are in production.

Guess I could try calling 1-866-ASK-MINI or 1-866-DRV-MINI (Canadian #?) to get updates...

I will try putting my VIN in the Cargo ID field (link below) from time to time, to learn when my car will start its long trip home!

In the meantime, I'm thinking of what badges I should buy that would look good with the Bayswater aesthetics... What % tint should I get...

I'd be happy with either of those quotes for a full bonnet, front fender & wing mirrors! What were you having covered?
