Also, Is that the hot chocolate metallic for the iced chocolate metallic?

For what it's worth, I'd just keep the reflectors. I can't imagine what it'd take to get rid of them so it looks "professional."

I have a Pepper White/BLack 2013 Clubman S on order, and I want to black out as much chrome as possible, so I am looking at how/what people have done. I know I can get headlight rings, the JCW grille surround, and JCW (or other blacked out) side scuttles...but I'm thinking I will want to vinyl wrap the door handles, barn door handles, and gas cap a gloss black to match the roof.

Wow... just beautiful. I have a thing for Red roofs. I contemplated doing the whole red look on my Hot Chocolate but I pussed out.
Great looking ride aph!
The Euro arches do not have blinkers. You can get the fronts and the rears from vendors outside the US. They definitely look a lot cleaner than our versions. I was too cheap to buy them lol so I just painted the blinkers Rustoleum Matte Black so its less visible.

New Clubman arrives at home!
New Cooper S Clubman. Fairly basic spec with just a few doodads. Pretty fun car. Just getting used to all the inputs (shifter, clutch, steering input, etc.) compared to my past couple of rides. Only 9 km delivery mileage. This next 1000 km will be painful while I break her in.

I have these on mine. As mentioned by others you can buy the Euro ones, but I am pretty sure it is a requirement to have them in the US (could be wrong). I think it's funny though because all Euro's I know want them and all us stateside want to get rid of them

Cheers! Located just outside of Hamburg, Germany. The building is my house!
I've already made a mistake or two in pre-purchases for the car. Bought a level cargo floor cover on ebay and did not fully research ALL the ancillaries that go along with installing one. Whoops. I thought one just added the support rails and done. Had no idea you had to replace the interior pieces etc. Oh well, I'll have to put that up for sale then.
Rev matching on this car is odd though. It seems like you can't just blip the throttle as it does basically nothing at speed. I have to really punch the throttle all the way to the mat to get any meaningful rise in revs. Maybe just need practice in this car.
