Astro Black Clubman Owners Club
I've been seeing a lot of "owner's club" posts and I think its time the Astro Black Clubmans get together. I looked for another thread for Astro Black Clubmans but found nothing. So figured I would start it up... who's with me?
I hope to have some pics soon... Ninja needs a bath first...

I never considered Astro black because the rear color wouldn't be Astro black. It would have been flat black. Blech.
Has something changed?

I just ordered an Astro Black S with silver roof and viper stripes. There was one on the lot and it was a striking color combination. I never thought I'd ever have a black car. It looks like it will be an '09 model.

Thanks for posting pics.
I can't wait to join you in owning, IMO, one of the smoothest looking rides on the road.

Sorry I'm late to join the group. I've had mine since opening day (Feburary 16th) and I had the "C" pillar color matched.
