a red 2011 clubman! 6spd manual, the fake leather, led lights in the interior, syruis radio, etc..(ph and as u know its not the "S")

it's my dads and thought id share!

here are a couple questions;

whats mods to do?

best exhaust?

is there a ecu reflash?

how low do these go on springs?

how low on coils?

can u post a pic of a slammed red one with black roof?

here are the pics, enjoy!


OH AND YES, can u drive with fogs on ONLY? or its it like a vag-com thing?

(btw i took them with a point and shoot!)

I think you're on the wrong forum. May I suggest 'Pimp My Ride'....:rolleyes:

or, you could try to be helpful instead.

Not too many performance mods on the cooper clubman. You can get an intake from ddmworks. Sounds pretty good, and gives a little more power. No exhaust currently exists, but maybe a local muffler shop can do one up for you. Otherwise, you can really only gain performance through suspension mods. Rear sway bar is probably the number one thing to do. Not sure an ecu is worth the cost given the lack of a turbo.

As for how low can you go...I've seen some pretty low clubmans. No pics though. But they're out there.

Oh yeah...as far as the fogs go, if you have the light switch on th middle parking lights setting, I think you can get the fogs on. But then you need to remember to turn off the lights when you turn off the car.

Driving with fog lights on when it's not foggy is rude and probably against the Motor Vehicle Code.

Looks really nice! Same colors as I chose. Just one thing I notice - no roofbars!
These are now standard fitting on UK market Clubmans, maybe not in the US (unless you specified them to be deleted perhaps?
