Hello there to everyone

I have just brought a 08 Clubman in PW with hot chocolate half leather interior, with piano black trims.

The thing is it also has the PW roof not black like many others?
I'm not sure what to do with the roof? Thought i could do it Black and PW checkered or Silver/Black union Jack?
What do you all think i should do?

welcome aboard

as for your roof dilema ....i would avoid adding another colour(silver) unless your rear pillars are silver, black roof with PW check sounds good... log onto minipirate.com and see what phil can do for you or have a look at his galleries in the sponsored sections on totalmini.com

dont forget to post up some pics of your clubbie

Hi and welcome to the Clubman Register tell us more
where are you from whats your spec ect
have you had a mini/MINI before

Get some photos up

As Clubster say's have a look on the Pirates website good luck

I don't think i will have the car until the weekend as im based near Chelmsford i done a group stock check to find it with Cooper mini main dealers. The one i found was in Tunbridge Kent so they are getting down to my local deal in Chelmsford today so i can go over the car with them before i collect it.

Only had a original mini clubman when i was 17 ( god that seems a long time ago, 38 now) i also have a 56 plate Range Rover Vogue in all black as my family car, the mini is to save a bit of fuel as i will use the mini more.
I filled up my Range Rover last night and it came to £110 and i only get 500 miles to a tank so i'm sure i will notice the difference in the Cooper D.

As for the spec of the mini i'm not up on all the correct terms yet so i will have a go from the spec sheet i have with my invoice.
I gave £14000 for it it seemed cheap for a cool little cat

Hiya and Welcome to The Clubman Register

It sounds like that spec includes all the right toys

If you're in Essex, you might also want to check out www.EastCoastMiniClub.co.uk

Welcome to the Register

Good spec, sounds nice As for the roof I would say stick with black /white checks and perhaps get matching bonnet stripes.

The dealer will happily do the fuel cap but charge a bit i expect. It is a common mod so do a search on totalmini or mini2 and im sure you will find a how to guide.

Hi Matey and welcome to the site

That sounds a great spec, have you picked it up yet

Phil at minipirate will help with the roof and designs

Mark on here has done the "S" filler think he said it was fairly easy

Enjoy the Clubbie Adventure

Hello and welcome

Hello Black & White checkered roof sounds good
To make it feel real different to the Range Rover why not lower it.

Welcome to the Club Man...

Car sounds like it has a nice spec...

I got my S fuel filler cap from M-Style, they can even fit it for you, have a look on there web-site...

Nice to see some pics...

Yes i collected the car on Friday at midday!!!!!!!!

I have to say that Jacki at Cooper Chelmsford was a great person to deal with and even took me step by step through every function on the car.
Great dealership. Top marks

Anyway the car, all i have to say is???? i actually like it better than my £41000 Range Rover Vogue? No honest.

Love it just love it and the fuel consumption is truly amazing too.
I also found out it has the 5 year free servicing too

Mods so far include:
Limo black privacy glass with 50% tint on front windows.
Check side scuttles
Gloss black mirror covers
Cooper bonnet stripes
"Clubman" letters on rear under Cooper badge
Black Cooper D tax disc holder
John Cooper signature stickers on front of doors at the bottom in black

The car is booked in at BMW on the 19th March to have roof checkered and cooper S filler cap fitted oh and cooper clubman S white high level brake light.

Roof costing £250 supplied and fitted
Filler cap costing £150 supplied painted and fitted
White high level brake light costing £100 supplied and fitted
Quite cheap i thought.

I will get some images hopefully tomorrow then i will need help to add them on here please?

Cheers everyone and speak soon.

i reckon those wheels will look great, you'll need to lower the car though

i'd advise if you can hold off fitting the wheels for a few weeks or so until they stop spreading salt this will preserve your wheels and the polished lip , i'm having to pretty much clean my wheels off to get the salt off everytime i use the car

get some 'poorboys' wheel sealant to help protect them, i've used it a few times on my wheels and they continue to look great. http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/wheels-an ... rod_9.html

looking forward to the pic's of all your mods

Here is a link to an image of my Clubbie with my other car, i will take some better images when i also know how to post on here.
Let me know what you think?

It's a great plate. It's in the middle of being put on retention at the mo for sale if anyone is interested?
