What a great club to make membership as easy as ownership! I guess that would be my cue to jump on the bandwagon, although I have owned my 05 S since infancy, was there for her trip overseas and welcomed her with open arms in the delivery room. L.O.L She (Emma) has brought me many smiles over the many miles (47,000) and we have gone many places together, M.I.T.M. 2007, The Dragon two times, soon to be three in a few days and many changes along the way...Grass Roots Garage tweaked by-pass valve, Alta 2.0 15% pulley, DDM CAI, JCW belt, JCW exhaust (sans the front resonator) JCW suspension, and BBS R90's in anthracite along with an Aesthetic Creations Union Jack side fender decal and gobs of TLC and Zymol.
What a great thread. Does anyone have any recent pictures of BRG/B with Tuscan interior with JCW aerokit? I'm waiting to order one of the new JCW 09 and will more than likely get it in this configuration.
Thanks
The link in my signature has a BRG/B Clubman with an aero kit but I have already forgotten what the interior was......but its close to what you are looking for.

Here's BRG/B with the JCW aero kit but with the Redwood Red -- love it - it's out of the norm I think and like another NAM'er said, it's like a new baseball glove.
I really like that stripe. Nicely done. In the back of my head, I'm toying with something similar for my BRG/B MINI -- only have it be gray. Still toying...
I just did a similar stripe to my brg/b I used a translucent silver. looks kind of gray in the pictures.
How difficult was it to add the stripes? And where didja get ‘em?
I actually had a place install the stripes. I tried doing the bonnet stripe but ended up tearing a piece, so I just found a local sign shop and had them put on the stripes. Of course then I spent about an hour cleaning up behind them. They had several bubbles that I had to clean up.
I think I probably could have done it myself. You need a hair dryer to get the vinyl into the curve around the tag and on the end of the hood, and you have to remove the rear handle and the front windshield sprayer head.
The stripes came from mightystripes.com they were about $110. To have the local shop install was about another $110.
Thanks. I was pretty happy with them. I'm working on blacking out some of the chrome now. I've already done the beltline, and I just finished up the headlight rings. I'm trying to decide if I want to do the entire grill, the surround or nothing. I'm not sure which way to go.
Karen, That Redwood Red looks quite striking with BRG! I wish that interior color could have been available back in 05 but alas, it was not.

I was just thinking something similar last night, looking at some of the chrome... although there isn't too much. But it somehow seems out of place, at least on mine.

I was thinking of blackout too, the kits that I've seen are kinda pricey, but I really don't want to use electrical tape so we'll see, the crome dosen't really bother me, but when I see these pics. all blacked out, I really like it !!
I have been thinking of color matching all the chrome. but then I realize I am on a lease and don't really want to do all that work to a lease. So when the lease is up I will be doing color line on all chrome bits on the new BRG
