DUDE That looks awesome. I was really interested in going with the dark theme myself but I didn't want to repaint my roof black or Chocolate. I originally had gloss black R112s and gloss black bits everywhere but it looked funky with the giant silver roof so I decided to change direction and go bright with everything. I'm jealous, your Clubby looks great and those red bits, really add alot of character.
Hey thanks M appreciate it and sorry about the roof dilemma but it seems like you went the right route for you clubby. I'd love to see a pic sometime. Mine is a work in progress but I think I'm content with the exterior for a while now time to start on some under the bonnet goodies.
New Hot Chocolate Owner and need artistic direction
Hello,
Just purchased a 2011 Hot Chocolate Clubman with 10,000 miles in pristine condition. Plus it was a great price! It has the piano black roof and mirrors. Want to put chrome mirrors on the car and would like to put silver stripes. Would you all suggest matte or gloss silver stripes to go with the rest of the chrome?
We are a now a 2 mini household, my husband had a 2011 Cooper. Please add me to your list.

Congrats and welcome to the club. Definitely go gloss with the stripes. The silver may look a little strong because you have the black roof. A great in-between would be the black stripes with the silver pinstripes.

I will get some pics as soon as I get everything back on. I can't wait to have it all assembled. I finally got the roof basket on too. Performance goodies are a must on the S. My hatch S is a firecracker while unfortunately my non-S clubbie is more of a sparkler lol.
I forgot to ask, what model is your Yakima air diffuser on your roof? I need to get one badly. I can already imagine how much extra drag I will get with the new basket. Thanks in advance.
Hey M sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I think it's either the 32" or the 38" yakima fairing. It's slightly narrower than the space between the roof ridges. You can always go a little bigger if you want to deflect around those. Hope this helps.
Hello All, I would like to be a member of the Hot Chocolate Mini Club. My Mini has piano black roof , pillars, mirrors and interior accents. My first mod was 20% tint all around. I have ordered my CAI which will be installed asap !! A few pics to enjpy:
Hi all, I'd like to join the club. I picked up my HC/B 2009 Clubbie on the night of the 13th and just got him home. I'll post pics after I get the bugs out of his teeth today.
The HC Club started as a Clubman club because Hot Chocolate was supposed to be a Clubman only color. Like many things MINI, we have evolved over the years to include all HC MINIs. Welcome to the club.
I have a HC (of course) with black top. I was wondering if the checkered flag on the mirrors would look good with that. I am wanting to get the black w/white bonnet stripes. Or should I leave off the checkered flags and just get plain black bonnet stripes?
Thanks! Just got the windows tinted on the HC rig - looks awesome! Waiting till next month to get the same done to my new (used) 2012 pepper white clubman S.
I just bought a 2010 Clubman S in Sparkling Silver (Black top and pillars) and Hot Chocolate (Polar white trim with wood-like dash). How do I join the HC club?!
