Looks great, I like how you used the European Package "Kilburn" Mirror Caps mixed with the graphics. They did not bring all the kilburn package to the states. But they did give us the mirror caps.

Also the little known "Clubman" Side scuttles. #8 in below diagram.

Nice set up, like the little known touches.

Yeah, getting the C-Pill body color I thought was a must, though I was wishing that I had left the roof unpainted until I saw it- no regrets now!

2011 Clubman S
I am new to this site and a new Clubman S owner. Purchased the car on June 29, 2013. I was ALWAYS a diehard Ford man, and traded in a Ford Ranger. So far, had the car one month and have no complaints. I added a m7 turbo heat shield, as I read about the scoop melting issues. Other than that, the car looks, and runs fantastically.

Okay, so I went out for some country mountain road driving in North Georgia this past weekend. Since I haven't been to the Dragon in NC yet, this is my closer alternative for now. Had a blast on those curvy roads and the Clubman handled them all in stride. Made sure to also make a few stops for photos along the way.

Nice Clubbie! Traded my SVT Contour for mine.

I also thought about the heat shield, but then read that MINI started using metal scoops to combat the distortions. I have a 2013, so I don't know when they made the switch, I'm guessing it was a few years back.
We just drove from the SF Bay area to Los Angeles last weekend, avg 90+mph. Didn't stop for the first 4 hours and I was worried about the heat, but all was well, very hot to the touch but OK. With the amount of heat coming off that part of the hood above the turbo, I can't believe they ever were plastic!
Anyway, congrats and I know you'll be enjoying your Clubman as much as I have been!

Very Nice! How's the ride with that setup? I love the slightly lowered look, but I don't know if I would like a much harsher ride for the long term.

I like the performance and grip over a pillow-soft ride either way.
