Time for an update!

Due to the lack of warm dry weather over the last 3 months :lol: the rear spoiler still isn't fitted - that is being sorted next week by a nice man in a bodyshop.....

The car is going in anyway to get an Aero front bumper fitted! :blob5:

The guy does some work for a local dealer and had the bumper left over from a job so I got it at a very good price that I couldn't refuse really. It had been colour coded PW so he has to spray the textured black paint on the splitter hence the delay 'til next week.

Can't wait! :1icon_cool: :1icon_cool: :1icon_cool: :1icon_cool:

Well, there's been a few changes to the Clubby - got offered a great deal on an Aero front bumper that I couldn't really refuse! :lol: The guy runs a bodyshop so I got him to fit my JCW roof spoiler while it was in! :D

Took a few pictures as I was leaving for work this morning:

Bumper:

Very pleased with how it has turned out, the lack of chrome at the front really changes the look of the car!

AMAZING change to the whole look of your Clubby Niall !! :) :) :)
Loving the new look, both the Aero bumper with the black surrounds and the very cool rear spoiler set the car off perfectly ;)

Long time since I've posted here but small change to the Clubby today so some new pictures!

Swapped the R105s from the R53 with the Pace Spokes - they need a refurb anyway so toying with the idea of getting them done in black however they still look good with the polished face as long as you don't look too close at the corrosion.... :o

So - refurb in black or polished???? I'm confused now!! :lol:

These are one of my favourite Mini wheels Niall :)
I prefer them the way they are to be honest ;) but all black would suit your Clubby well also.

I agree with Ferg.
Those wheels are special enough as it is.....so just polish them up!

Been away for a while but just to update things the Clubby has been traded in for a Cooper D Countryman - new thread to follow...

Sad to see it go, it really was the best MINI i've owned yet but no longer big enough for the 5 of us. :(

Congrats on the Countryman Niall , I know what you mean re the Clubman , I am way past 'change' time with mine but I still enjoy the car . looked at buying a Clubman Hampton recently but just can't bring myself to part with the current car .thought about a Countryman as well but we really don't need the space as Sinead has her own Cabriolet now . any plans for Countryman mods ?
