Great pics! I have one about 3/4 across the Atlantic right now. You can see a small version of it in my signature.

It looks great. I'm sure most of us here in the US would give a portion of our body to motor around Switzerland in a Clubbman S.

Amen to that, ftttubrgcm!

SebM - your Clubman looks great with those black wheels...and I bet they hide the break dust, too.

Nice looking car.

Is it possible to get the Blacked out front grill in the US? Or is that an aftermarket piece?

Yes, check with your dealer. They're part of the JCW Aero Kit, but you can order them separately from MINI. 3 pieces.........or actually 2 as all you need is the upper and lower trim piece. The grill itself should be the same.

I had planned on ordering the Aero kit when I order my car.

Congrats. The mini is perfect for geneva's small streets! I was driving around with some friends in a cooper coupe around Nyon last year to get pizza au restaurant de la croix, or something like that, for the 4 of us, a clubman would have been nice!

I like Swiss front licence plates, much better than the Belgian ones
