if Lurch ever takes on the challenge of organizing another Sunrise Run in Manhattan
i'll be a participant at many runs before that happens. I think 3 times was a charm for the Sunrise ... we would need to do a "boroughs" one if anyhting. I believe Paul (Turbomini) has something in the works.

some shots are better than zero shots in my book
I like the looks and the shots look good from my view.
If you don't mind, what are your general impressions overall, any likes vs. dislikes... anything you have just noticed that you never did before that you find interesting, etc...
I like the silver, I think the silver really looks great w/ the blue... but then again, I'm a cowboys fan. .... so......... the silver and blue look good !

let's see, it's an 08 clubman s, lightning blue / silver with custom silver stripes. includes the blue colorline interior on the dash and doors, brushed aluminum accents on the inside, manual transmission, 16" bridge spokes, ipod/bluetooth hookup, heated seats, and duel sunroof.
in two months i've put about 3500 miles on it and haven't found a problem yet. granted i'm coming from a 1994 honda accord (automatic) so just about anything feels awesome. i've averaged 31-32 mpg (hand calculated) since i've gotten it which, for how much fun the car is, i won't be complaining about anythime soon. the only thing i'm iffy on is the silver trim around the back doors. the trim works on some colors and not on others. i don't think it's too bad most of the time, but i'm excited to see what it looks like in different colors. right now i'm looking for a place to make the top two trim pieces black (to match the a pillars) and the other three lightning blue (to match the body color). if i had any skill with photoshop i'd have a picture to look at, but alas, i do not.
i'm looking at installing a CAI and possibly some 18" summer wheels next spring.

I've got to say that the Lightening Blue does look great with that silver. Not sure I quite understand your design plans, but since I don't have any photoshop sort of software that's OK. I hope someone here can help you out. Glad you're enjoying the Clubman so much!

New 2009 Clubman with Roof Rails
Just took delivery this past Saturday.
MC Clubman, Hot Chocolate Metallic with Black roof and pillars, 16 in. run-flats on Bridgespoke wheels, sport seats and center armrest, xenon lights, fog lights, factory ipod/bluetooth, and ROOF RAILS! When I added them to production order, I was told this was only 2nd Clubman to have new factory installed roof rails.
See photos in "welcome to NAM" - sorry for darkness - pouring rain this weekend.
PA Clubman
ps - how come, once I upload a photo in one forum, it will not let me upload it again in another formum?

hardingsan, I hear you about the trim around the door and have seen some great examples of ones painted to match the car. Though, I think that with your stripes it really helps to pull all the other silver parts together. let us know what you decide.

the only trim mods i've seen so far is black on black or silver on silver. i haven't been able to find any that match body color let alone blending the upper portions to black. i agree that for now the silver still matches in a way, but i think it'll make it look way clean and unique to boot. now i just need to find a way to take them off and someone to wrap them for a good price...

Since these roof rails haven't been your obsession, you've clearly missed the $5 for a photo thread in which Mr. Ray posted a couple of very good shots: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...1&postcount=57

Are they as functional as the rack for bikes, kayaks and the like?
