re: ambient lighting - A little disappointed - not as "strong" or bright as I thought it would be...
But still a neat thing... I may find a brightening switch someplace...
Little LED lights above the front pax seatbelts, in the armrests, over the headliner switches...

Looks fantastic! Every time I see another CR/B I'm more and more glad I went that direction. Mine's actually going to be very close to yours. Only differences I can spot on the outside are that I'll be getting xenons and webspokes.

These Chili Red pics make my wait even more intolerable. I am waiting on one as well, loaded except for nav & chrome line exterior. It's my first Mini and I went crazy with the options... Should be here around mid-May.

It isn't the exterior chrome package because that includes the mirrors too. In pics without chrome mirrors, some have the chrome grill trim and others don't.

On the Clubman Cooper the chrome grill is standard. From there you can choose the "chrome line exterior" as an option or you can just add the chrome mirrors which will include...read this: http://www.miniusa.com/?#/learn/FACT...uipment_List-s. For the Clubman S, I believe the only standard chrome are the two tailpipes...of course you can add different chrome levels.

I see now that my link only brings you to the main building your MINI page about specs...but you can choose the two different Clubman versions and see the differences as to what is standard on which, etc.

P.S. This is as one would order from the factory. I'm not sure what all the after market options might be.

I'm referring to the thin chrome surrounds in the LOWER grill of the Clubman S, and the small grills above the S tailpipes. You do get those chrome surrounds with the exterior chrome line (along with the mirrors). However, there are Clubmen without exterior chrome line (no chrome mirrors) yet they still have the thin chrome grill surrounds. I'm wondering what option gives you that combination.

For example these do not have exterior chrome line (no chrome mirrors), but notice the thin chrome surround on the rear and lower front grills.





Also see pics of RaceFace's Clubman in my previous post.

rkw, here in Belgium chrome mirrors are an extra option.

We only have 2 packages, Chili and Pepper. Basically everything else a seperate option.

Hope this solves your question?

"Chrome line exterior" is an option that is ordered separately from any of the packages. It includes chrome mirrors and some other exterior chrome bits, or you can order only chrome mirrors alone as an option. I don't see an option for exterior chrome bits WITHOUT chrome mirrors, but some Clubman S seem to be shipping this way from the factory.

I asked for 20, 1 before legal in my state of 30. For some reason they did not have but instead 27. That is just below illegal and it turned out fine. The windows have to dry for 24/48 hours and I am really happy with the results
