Took delivery the week before Christmas and am finally just getting some pictures posted. I wanted a little of the Old School hot rod flavor, so I did a few little things differently such as pinstripes and a two-tone beltline. Additional pictures are in my gallery.
Replaced the emblem with the requisite Flying Eyeball.
Some pinstripes on the A-Panel.
Rear pinstripes and painted handles.
Some Beige highlights on the mirrors and the Beige and Orange beltline. The Beige matches the Polar Beige piping and colorline in the interior.
Needed some color between the seats so added the HC handles and boots for the shifter and e-brake, and re-upholstered the arm rest cover in Polar Beige leather.
It also has NM springs, JCW intake and strut bar, and I'm waiting for the 2011 tune from Jan @ RMW. Once that's done, hopefully I'll be done(!).

Black jack decals removed (pic heavy)
Around Christmas 2010 i saw a photograph of this clubbie and thought to myself how stunning that looks
And so the transformation began in early January with the removal of my white indicators to be replaced for some LED ones
Then the removal of the Blackjack rear view mirror,mirror caps and side scuttles to be replaced with white mirror caps and JCW chrome scuttles
A few weeks had passed and it was time to change the alloys which i thought would look perfect with the pepper white theme i was going to have,paid a fair price for them but they look great
The next day they were fitted
It was then time for the decals to go
First the side decals then the roof a bit of a pain to remove but ended up good,the silver roof didn't go down to well with the wife
Then the bonnet and rear door stripes were the last things to go
I received the clubbie back yesterday with the roof,headlight rings and grille surrounds all painted Pepper white.
Two more jobs to be done i have some lowering springs to be fitted,and the full JCW aero kit will be arriving at the end of the month.
Here is a picture or 2 of what it should look like when it's finished
Will keep you informed when Dave is finished

Here are some pictures of mine, got it second hand from a BMW dealer and it is the best car I have ever driven. There are a couple of things that I need to get done, the left back light is full of dust and the passenger door needs adjusting... I hope, where as the driver side door makes a nice deep thud when you close it, the passenger side sounds more like the door on a ford fiesta Mk1. I hope this is not normal because of the club door? I have a Europlus 1 year extension warranty but I'm probably not covered for these thing, have to see what they say.

The driver's door of my wife's Mazda CX-9 sounds hollow and metallic, but the other three doors sound completely solid. I'm 100% convinced the car had a driver's door accident, and when they fixed the door, they neglected to install all the sound proofing and foam back into the door.
Bought used, don't really have any options except to try to fix it myself.

Congrats on the new MINI. My Clubbie doors all have that same heavy thud. Good luck to you with yours.

I used the Outmotoring Mid-Brackets: http://www.outmotoring.com/mini-coop..._brackets.html
They were fairly easy to put on, I talked with the owner of Outmotoring prior to ordering them since they didn't list them as working on a 2011 Clubman. He said the only reason they didn't list the 2011 is because they didn't know if they would work with the updated front fairing (brake ducts). I can confirm that they do in fact work .
