kcle730... are those tips or a new exhuast? An inch out is not bad but man that looks crazy. Gotta fix those rear pillars, looks weird. I love Hot Chocolate though, I have the same color combo.

beautiful I have found my new wheels

Tips =] yeahh i kinda like them hahaha Planning to push them in a little more, but for some reason, the left tip's Inner Diameter is smaller and won't go any further. So i'm planning to go to a muffler shop and weld them on.

actually the rear pillars are how they are, i plastidip them, i havent finished it off because of the cold weather and random rains =[

once i'm done, the bottom bumper will be black too, after that, going to see how it will look with the silver top. if it doesn't work out, i would plastidip the top also, or vinyl wrap it.

But thanks tho! =]

A shot from last summer. White OZ rims were then a recent purchase, but I am considering painting them black or silver. Only thing missing is roof rack, which was added this winter.

Cheers,
LW

Clubman

Here's mine after the NM Engineering springs were installed. These plus the ALTA 19mm rear sway bar and 205/50/16 Kumhos really upped the handling which was great to begin with.

Hey guys, just thought I'd share. Bone stock for now, adding factory rack & rockymount bike racks next week, and lamin-x headlights, fogs, and roof protection. Next is wheels...

Lakersguy,
Nice Clubman, I noticed in your sig that you have some carbon fiber parts. Did you do a vinyl wrap or an overlay? Also how is the 3rd brake light tint holding up on the tight radius of the lens?

Has anyone considered doing the carbon fiber roof and c-pillar vinyl wrap?

Thanks thisshouldwork!

I did the vinyl overwrap thing; A panels, C panels, rear roof panels, hood scoop, gas tank cover, interior dash and door trims also.

3rd brake light been tinted for 2 years now and still holding up exceptionally!!!

My favorite stuff!!

Do you have any factory Carbon, like the scoop or the mirror covers? My only concern is that it won't be a good match to that gloss finish of the JCW stuff I have on my car.

You did the gas cap too!!! That must have been a pain in the ****!!! I'd like to see a close up of that...

Paint Work

I didn't like the factory paint or the chrome on my Clubman, so I had it repainted. I also did the Joey Mod on the lights, just don't have pictures of it yet.

Anyone running a 16x8 +20? If so, how do they fit? Any rubbing/problems? I'm looking at some awesome wheels but don't want to have problems!

Running 17x8.25 +25 with no issues. Camber will likely be needed to get it all to sit nicely. Or stretch. Are you on coils or Springs?

nothing yet, eventually CO, i might put some springs on to hold me over til i have the cash for coils. the wheels im looking at also come in +35 so i might just go that route. the only reason i asked about the +20 is i found a set second hand with stretched tires for the same price as the wheels brand new without tires.
