NICE!!! Now I know what our clubman would look like with white stripes. We ordered black (to match our black roof), then our MA called to say, "Um I put on white stripes by accident, we can change them, but I thought I'd call first to see if maybe you'd like white instead?" To which we replied,
"ahhh, no."
But they look cool on your car (with the silver roof).

You might consider having the dealer remove the stripes altogether and putting your own on. You can get some neat options from:

I like the Shelby stripes myself, down the middle of the bonnet. A little different.
If we had ordered our car new, I might have skipped the stripes altogether, but I do like how they echo the C pillar paint accents at the rear.
My left stripe has a couple of scratches on it unfortunately. I've read up on removing them, and it seems very difficult. One day I might explore having them professionally removed and replaced with something a little more unique.

thanks! i had the stock plasti-chrome painted at a local body shop. they're pretty easy to take off and if your shop knows what they're doing they're pretty easy to paint.

Just got my H&R springs installed a few days ago. My car is kind of dirty, but I figured I would take some pictures since it's so nice outside. I'll post some more when it's clean.
Here are the before and after shots.

Hi all, I became a Clubman owner on Saturday (MINI #4) and loving it . I'm still getting used to the different (non-hatch) styling and 2nd gen features. This one is a JCW Clubby, Horizon Blue with silver roof and mirrors over Hot Chocolate cloth/leather interior. Will be doing some stuff in the future: probably red mirror caps, silver sport stripes, and window tint.
