My MA said they expect delivery on the 23rd. My Aero Kit should be there be there within a couple few days. The paint shop will have it painted and ready for installation when it gets there. So.... I should get it sometime soon.

Did you know that if your getting accessories from MINI Motoring they will give a 20% discount to NAM members? You just have to give them your NAM user name.
I bought 2 hats, the seat-belt retainer and the funny looking trash bag so far.

I already had to sell my wife to pay for the car as it is, no more accessories me for a while.

Good news ororo!
You've endured the wait, and now the prize.

PMKNHD your ride looks great. I like the aero kit and black headlights.

Here is a photo of mine - I finally had a chance to wash and photo it. Mine is a bit more straight.

Thank you Bandit, I'm loving it.
I wouldn't say yours is more straight then mine, their just different.
That's a great looking ride you've got there, I especially like the color!

Well folks, only 3 pages here and MINI is into the 2013's.
Seeing as they released Spice Orange in March and went into 2013 production this month I would have to say we all own a rare MINI!
On that note, here's more pictures.

I know this is an old post and I know I haven't gone through with the prerequisite intro thread, but I was browsing the forum and noticed this thread and had to sign up to post in it (and then I noticed your particular posts and had to respond to them).

We're fraternal, almost identical, twins--yours is just slightly better than mine. I've had my Spice Club S for less than two weeks and I'm loving it. Same as yours... orange/black, auto, 'cept with a black interior.









I'd thought about switching the stripes out for the thinner ones (including the rears), but I thought it might look a bit too busy in back. Yours convinces me otherwise...

Thank you lazyeye_spice!

They could be twins, just minutes apart.
I had a hard time deciding on the stripes, I do believe it's how they look on the rear that sold me. Yours has me wondering how the viper stripes would look with the contrasting pin stripes. Your bonnet stripes look awesome on the Spice Orange.
I see that you felt like I did that the black headlight housings and black bullets were made for our MINI's.
Keep one thing in mind, it's my opinion (my opinion is always right ) that there is no MINI better than another. Nearly every motorer that I've seen has a smile on their face and that speaks volumes!

Thanks for the much appreciated comment!
Motor-on!

Thank you much Mini///M
I want to see when the green your having done is finished.
That color looks sick! You will definitely stand out from the crowd.

I want to do some things to Pumpkinhead such as intercooler swap, hot-side boost tube, BOV spring among others. Those will have to wait a while, I did have the JCW Tuning Kit installed and it is a runner. No regrets there.
I would like to hear the fact that this is a turbo charged engine, I never seem to hear anything from it. I'm hoping that the silencer delete on the hot side will make a difference there. I don't want to change out the BOV thinking that I'll have errors coming up due to the loss of recirculation pressure.
Oh well, I'll shut up now.
Thanks again for the comment Mini///M - ///M snob!

Decisions...Help!

Hi guys... I am an Ex-Mini owner looking to rejoin the fold. This time, with a White Silver or Spice Orange. I have configured both, but cant find real time pictures of either of these combinations. Does anyone here have the Spice Orange in the combo I have configured? Post pics if you do? Thanks!

Who could possibly ask for a better complement on their car than that.

Thank you SeVeReCaRaDdIcT.

Hey PMKNHD,

Really nice ride....

My wife is picking up her 2013 Spice Orange Clubman S today.

It looks a lot like yours. I'll try to post some good pictures this coming week end.

I asked her what it's name was going to be as we were filling out the paperwork and she said either Jack or Jackie, depending on how it drives...

She traded in a Hot Chocolate 2011 Cooper.

Anyway she really liked your signature image....

Add one SO Clubbie,

Andy

Thanks Andy and congratulations to your wife and to you as well assuming that great looking roadster has your name all over it.

I can assure you, she is going to love her Clubman S.
I don't really believe she'll notice much if any performance difference from the 2011 Cooper unless that one wasn't an S.

I'm glad she liked my sig. It's a little out there but it just feels right!

Welcome to the SO Club. (No pun intended.)

Great looking. I have had my orange Clubman for almost two years now and I have only seen one in the wild. Enjoy!
