I was in disbelief and asked to look at other brand new cars on their lot and they were happy to assist. And to my amazement; all the brand new cars on the lot made the same window rattle noise when closing the passenger door. I must have checked at least 4 other cars on their lot.

Window rattle noise, that is exactly what I mean, and you are saying this is normal on a car that cost 36,000 EUR?

No it isn't actually, even though it looks like it I am in South Jersey as well, but I have VA plates (Active Duty Military). The tint is 18% on all the windows except the windshield and sunroof. Where abouts in South Jersey are you?

Nilepimp and days-like-this: very cool looking Clubbies! I always love the Rally versions, and that ice blue with black combination really rocks!

UAL Kingpin, you may have just won me over to Ice Blue. I was not feeling the love for that color at all, but your Clubman is HOT.

Bravo!

Sweet!

Get rid of that dealer sticker, unless they plan to pay you for that advertising.

Just use Glide dental floss. Get under a corner and work the letters up.

Better yet, have the dealer do it. Tell them, thanks, but no thanks...unless they want to pay you for their advertising.

Then, if the paint is affected in any way, it's their tab to fix it.

Thanks for the complements everybody

I finally get to post a picture of my Clubman here after one year of research. At one time I had six configurations on a spreadsheet. I drew inspiration from the many great looking Clubmans here and in the Gallery.

Haha, i thought so but wasnt sure. I have 5% on mine and am actually going to have that topped with 15% because 5 isnt enough ive been toying with the idea of tinting my windshield and even though my car is registered over in Pennsylvania and has the PA tags ill will most definitely get pulled over here in NJ for a front windshield....

Anyway, i live in glassboro i see that your in cape may? so your only 45 or so minutes away from me. i dont know how long your stationed here but i just joined philly mini maybe you would be interested in joining www.phillymini.org

ohh! and BTW: thanks for your serviceName:  Patriot.jpg

Yeah, the 18% was about as dark as I could go and not have VA troopers giving me hell (we go back to VA a few times a year). Every NJ cop just watch as I pass waiting to see if I have NJ plates .

I go through Glassboro about once a week when we head up to Cherry Hill, I actually just joined PhillyMini as well (see the grill badge ).
