Black11mccs: wowie wow wow! what a beauty!!!

 

Rally- looks amazing.

 

Just got a my Clubman S last week. No mods yet, just the factory stuff: manual, premium, carbon black/piano black interior.

Phone pics on day 2 in the garage:

 

HAWT.

 

Rally: that photography is just stunning. I wish I could have such beautiful photos of my MINI . . . (sigh)

 

ChiliTX: Congratulations! I love that Chili Red! You need to join the Chili Red club . . .

 

Rally/Stance

i have to say that is some really stunning photography! its beautiful and wish i could come close to photographing my new baby like yours. What camera/lens do you use? I have a Canon Rebel DSLR that i dabled with for a little bit and got bored with it.

Also, Thanks for all the compliments on my new baby! Every time i open the garage door i fall in love with her a bit more. My pics were quick point and shoots. When it gets warmer out i have a couple cool locations im going to take her to and really get some good shots with my nice camera, of course they wont compare to rallys

 

Thanks

Those were shot with a Canon t2i with a 50mm prime lense and a 300mm telephoto.

 

Finished up my brake caliber painting project took a while but it was worth it. worst part was taping/cleaning them. 5 hours in prepwork alone.I used self etching primer, 2 part high heat paint and high heat clear coat and used a preval for the paint and clear, worked great and beats the hell out of dealing with cleaning paint equipment/ air compressors

sorry for the poor picture quality, it was snowing out and i didnt want to get my nice camera out. ill have better ones as soon as she gets cleaned up again. I havent even had her a month

 

Very nice! Do mine! :D

 

Thank you! i work for beer, if you drive out from Wisconsin ide be happy to help you

i have the paint code, my local auto paint supply was able to match the mirrors near perfect. It was tough because the mirrors are actually molded plastic and not painted. They took there fancy light meters and came up with the paint code, made a sample and it was perfect.

PM me if your interested in the paint codes

 

My 2011 S in the new BRG2 - which is hard to photograph because it looks almost black unless it's in bright sunlight!

 

I think I will just buy new calipers and paint them. It sure will be much easier.

 

That would be a great opportunity to upgrade to stainless steel brake lines instead of the OEM rubber lines if you're so inclined - you're already gonna have to bleed the brakes. You could also time the job to coincide with the interval for flushing the brake fluid - every 24 months as I recall.

That green looks great! Don't know about the calipers, but I'm going to try the mirror caps on my BRG2 Clubman. I was originally thinking about copying the JCW red roof/mirror caps thing, but I like the way the Rally green caps look. It should be an easy swap once I get the green caps; my dealer was able to order them so maybe next week I'll have pics to share . . .

 

Very nice

Haven't seen too many BRG II pics yet, thanks for sharing!

 

NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!

 

Thanks guys! More pics when I get the green mirror caps.

Also thinking about swapping out the Web Spoke wheels for the Black Star Bullet wheels that are offered on the convertible and the Clubman White Silver package; whadya think?

 

I like those wheels on a Clubman. They were briefly available at the very beginning of MY2011 on the Clubman, without the White Silver package. Here are a couple cell phone pics I took back in November to give you an idea...

 

love those wheels, what tire size are you useing? any rubbing? my dealer is telling me i need to ajust my camber if i goto a 18" wheel which doe not make sense to me. as far as i know, as long as the overall diameter and width stay the same there should be no need to adjust camber.

please tell me your experience

Ooh, yeah - I like! Thanks!!!

 

I de-badged my Clubman! man does it do alot to clean it up back there. cant wait to delete the wipers. Also after the de-badge I snow foamed her and gave her a much deserved bath from the salt and road grime. Here are some pics

Before:

Quick Wash of the boot:

Bug & Tar remover loosening up the letters

After (sorry for the wash out)

Side view (again, cheap point and shoot)

And a pic of the mirror and brake calibers

 

Nice shots!

 

I really like the new BRG! I also think it looks better with Hot Chocolate than the old BRG did. Nice car!!
