For the black color on the air intake on Tata Steve's Mini - Is that paint or is it some kind of plastic overlay that is available? Do these overlays work pretty well? Thanks,
Picked up my 2011 Clubman 3 weeks ago. Find myself ending each commute home with an extended drive down some twisty roads instead of going straight home. Absolutely love this car.

Had to replace my run flats due to excessive wear, so went out and bought new rubber kicks for my Clubman last week. Ended up with the Toyo Proxes 4 Plus. Went from 205's to 215's. Unbelievable difference in the ride now versus the run flats. After I got the tires I decided to take a spin around Kennesaw Mountain Battlefield Park where I live, and had to stop for a few photos. ------------------------------------------------------------------ 2011 MINI COOPER R55 CLUBMAN: Midnight Black w/ Silver Top and Boot Trim, Manual, R111 17" Black Star Bullet Wheels, Toyo Proxes 4 Plus Clubs: GA MINIACs, ATL MINIs
First the old one . . . I just realized that I don't seem to have ever posted pictures of either of my R55s. So, in the spirit of better late than never, here is my first Clubman, a 2011 S in BRG2, with white roof wrap by Toddsmods. The BRG2 is a hard color to photograph well, but when the light catches it just right, it almost glows!
. . . and now the new one! I loved the British Racing Green II paint and the Hot Chocolate lounge leather of the 2011, but I wasn't happy with a couple of equipment choices I'd made when I ordered it. Neither of my gripes was something that could reasonably be retrofitted after the car left the factory, so when the JCW was upgraded to the N18 engine for 2013, I ordered a new one. It took a looong time to make it to my driveway (ordered in October, delivered in April), but here it is:
