Not that I am aware of. But then again, I've never really looked into grill badges (since I imagine them being easily stolen around here, not sure why anyone would though) and I'm holding off on stickering/decal-ing my SS baby.

 

picking mine up next wednesday. cant wait. black roof and stripes.

 

Congratulations in advance! Be sure to post pics when you get a chance. Which stripes did you go with, the standard bonnet stripes or the sport stripes? I went with sport stripes and LOVE them!

 

Woo hoo!

Well fellow SSers, today I got a VIN, and a production completion date of May 6th. Things are cookin' now . . .

 

Oops, double post.

 

At the rate this is going, you're going to get your new car before I get my new wheels (although if all goes according to plan, I will be getting my wheels direct from the North American distributor! ). Congrats, Linked!

 

Add me to the list! - My SS/B Clubman is scheduled to finish production tomorrow - I'm dying for it to get here. (Interior lounge leather black, cream line, piano black, sunroof, convenience and sport package). Still can't decide if I'm going to want to add stripes at some point. It has such clean lines without them, but stripes are so cool....

 

After 8 long and excruciating weeks, I'm finally picking up my Coop tomorrow. I ordered on March 1. My MA said 8 weeks and she was right. Actually the car came in on Friday but I was outta town and the first available appointment my MA had was tomorrow 4/30. I only live 8 minutes from the dealer so I was able to go by last night and steal a peek at my SS/SS baby tucked away at the back of the lot with no cars parked next to it. It is gorgeous. I was sure to take the digicam with me so I took a few shots to tie me over until tomorry. I posted pics in my gallery. I can't wait to drive it. My dealer's (Mini of Concord) demo for a non-S automatic was a Clubman so that is what I drove for my test drive. Although they said it felt the same, I highly doubt it. So this will definitely be like Christmas for me. I can't wait. NAM definitely made the 8 week wait a lot less painful though. Glad I found this place.

 

What plan is that, Will?? Are you holding out on me, or do you just want it to be a surprise? Today I'm leaning toward the 16" Rota Torques in Hyperblack; who knows what I'll want tomorrow.

OutoftheBox: I think that yours is the most luscious interior for the Sparkling Silver. I didn't get it because I don't like leather and I don't care for the sport seats, but it sure is beautiful. Did you get the anthracite headliner? SO maybe we'll be on the same ship.

RussKeys: Congrats! Tomorrow's going to be a great day for you. (Except you spoiled the unveiling a little bit...) Enjoy!

No anthracite (had to draw the line somewhere ) I really like it though.

So ya think I'm just a tad bit excited . Sorry for ruining the unveiling. I plan on posting new pics after I pick it up as it currently still has all of the shipping materials on it.

 

Not that anyone still cares about how others describe the color of our cars...but I've taken to calling it "metallic khaki". Seems to work...

 

I keep thinking Champagne...

 

me too.

 

Since my SS MINI is now cruising the Pacific Ocean, I guess I'm close enough to being an owner to post here.

If you are not yet en route and you are on the west coast of the U.S., I suggest you check out your MINI when it's passing through the Panama Canal. It's a pretty fun day. I believe you need higher bandwidth than me to get webcam photos, but if you are lucky like me, one of your shipmates will get pics and post.

Once you get an "en route" status on MINIUSA, you can enter your VIN in the WW shipping lines tracking system to find the name of your ship. (Maybe this is redundant -- I haven't read this entire thread.) Check out "All Aboard Isolde" if you want to see some tracking of the ship.

Has anybody found any SS vinyl? I'd like to get some black stripes for my bonnet and matching SS stripes for my top.

 

 

VERY nice! And your garage is HUGE!!!

 

Ooh - I love those pics!! That little beauty looks like he's ready for a night on the town!

And yes, wow; that is some spectacular garage !!!

Actually; that probably is the size a garage needs to be for some of the SUV's in our neighborhood, judging by the number of Limited Edition Grand Behemoths parked all over the streets (instead of in their garages) of our subdivision.

 

thanks for the compliment guys I wish somebody would donate a ferrai, porsche, lambo or some other exotics so that my "garage" will actually have cars in it! hahaha

 

There doesn't seem to be a Clubman SS OC, so can I join here?

See Gallery for pics.

Ordered Mar 15, picked-up Apr 26 - and lovin' it through one week.

MCSC, SS/B, 6Sp, PP, LLB, BA, GrCL, Int Chrome, RS Wipers, Ft/Rr Fogs, White TS

 

I think it's all SS. How many miles do you have on it?

 

My car is dirty and now it ain't pretty.

 

That is the one thing about this color. When it gets dirty I think it does not look as good. the color kind of changes.

 

It has stopped "sparkling" and now its just blehh. I think our drizzle here is almost done so I'll have to wash it tomorrow.

 

The other thing I think that is affecting how the color looks is: the clouds!! We are in "May Gray" here in San Diego, and I'm used to my car picking up some of the blue from the sky. Picking up the gray from the clouds makes it a color I don't care for very much.
