    Well I just had to have it, saw it sitting at the dealers and that was that

    The next day :D I picked it up :tu:

    I traded my R50 ONE in, was sorry to see it go :thumbsdow

    Spec is as follows

    2008 Cooper Clubman
    Lightning Blue / Silver
    Chili Pack
    MFSW
    Colour Line Pacific Blue
    Pacific Blue 1/2 Leather
    17" Pace Spokes

    When I bought it, the car had the JCW aero grille and the OEM Spotlights fitted by request of the last owner of the car

    Here it is when I got it

    I then added my MINI armrest which came out of my R50
    [​IMG]

    I then had the viper stripes and 1275GT style side stripes added. The side stripes have been removed now, I'm tempted to take them all off :disbelief

    JCW side scuttles, which have now been removed for the black plastic ones

    Cooper S fuel Cap, painted and fitted by myself :laff::tu:

    During July the MINI went home to oxford

    Thanks folks

    must admit I am sorely tempted to take the stripes off and put the standard bonnet stripes back on :) go for a clean look

    Ive taken the wheels off today and will be detailing the car in prep for a weekend event next weekend :D
