Oh no wonder I couldn't see them, the steering wheel is upside down here, lol. The 2011 all black inserts confused me. You should get Way's Diverter Blow Off Valve too...it dramatically improves non sport mode in the Clubbie.
Not to threadjack, but could you explain a little about the DV and what it improves? LOVE that interior.....
In short, if you got a Turbo, and you feel that Sport mode is the only way to drive a MINI because non Sport mode seems lethargic, this mod, makes the turbo more efficient such that for me, in non sport mode, it's so good, I don't instinctively feel that I need to hit that button every time. For others, it smooths out the power delivery between shifts, an improvement you can really feel and the mod is only $65.
enjoying it very much - definitely some improvements and refinements from our previous '04 mcs. love the clubman looks and already used the function a few times!
I'm stunned at how quickly ive gone from a Clubman hater to lover. Hated them in 08, when driving a coupe. Then a baby and baby stuff and an Element later, suddenly the Clubman doesn't seem so long and awkward... and we order one... and after a few weeks of driving, I can't imagine going back to the shorties... LOVE it.
Zimbo, Assume that the D is for diesel (which we can't get over here) so if I can ask what you are getting for mileage? Thanks.

Hi OldLoad, like Mark above has posted they generally get into the 70s. At the moment I am in the 60s. I used to have a Cooper D hatch before that and the best I ever got was 82 mpg (though that was driving like miss daisy, just having a leisurely drive...) but if you drive it like your rear is on fire then I will probably still be mid 50s to early 60s.
That's the exact shade I wanted. I'm happy with PS but kinda regret not waiting another year or two to see what new colors would be available. On the other hand, I might have missed out on a color that would be discontinued so it was a hit/miss choice for me.
Here's my 2009 R55 JCW - bought it about a month ago.
Finally got some photos that looked ok - can never seem to get a good day when I have my good camera - so I used the best camera I had with me - my iPhone!
True, the Imperial Gallon is 5 quarts, not 4, so 80% (ish) of 75-80 mpg is still somewhere about 60 mpg if I have my maths right. Be nice if they start offering it here...
