So we all know that Hot Chocolate is the Clubman specific colour, so who's got one/getting one?

Found this funky little one on MINI Cherished

Here's mine for starters, only seen one other MINI2 viewers car in HC so I would be interested to see some more

Mods planned are black jack indicator panels, and Black Aero grill, maybe some more bits in a year or so....

mister.t · Dec 7th, 2007, 05:55 PM

That looks

I do like that interior

The Overrun · Dec 8th, 2007, 09:37 AM

i don't like that first Mini. hot chocolate is a classy colour, not sporty like white, red or laser blue so you dont need stripes and that other stuff

CapriGT · Dec 8th, 2007, 10:12 AM

I agree with Overrun, think mini got it a bit wrong with the promo shots in the brochures using the HC to show accessories, looks all wrong me thinks. Simple stripes and leave it there.

Zack · Dec 10th, 2007, 08:30 AM

Theres a gorgeous Hot choc cooper clubbie at our dealer, its got the chilli pack, pace spokes dark glass, full brown leather interior, climate control, chrome interior, its soooooo classy.

JustACooperClubman · Dec 12th, 2007, 01:39 AM

Add another future HC/Silver roof owner here. Just placed an order for a new '08 Cooper S Clubman with 16" bridge spoke wheels, black/grey leatherette sports seats, Gotham grey door cards, checkered dash/door trim, 6-speed automatic transmission, multifunction steering wheel, iPod adaptor and front/rear fog lights.

It is a "low spec" Cooper S Clubman and still manage to get the car for US$26,200 and US$28.5K out-the-door.

I think that Hot Chocolate looks best with either silver or body color roof (Still with silver C-pillars). Sorry, but as much as I like the black roof in other MINIs, I think HC/Black looks down right weird. The black roof with black c-pillars just doesn't work for me.

JustACooperClubman · Dec 12th, 2007, 01:43 AM

I like the hot chocolate interior. Here in the US we either get Half cloth/leather HC seats and interior (US$ 1,000) or lounge leather HC interior and seats, gorgeous but mighty expensive at US$2,000. As lovely as these interiors are, we decided to go with standard leatherette and black/grey interior trim. This will be our main family car, so the leatherette has proven to be a high quality material better suited for kid/family duty than the fancier leather interiors.

jasonite · Dec 23rd, 2007, 07:23 PM

Hot chocolate might be the best color MINI offers; if it's still available next time I'm car shopping, I'll probably get it with tuscan beige interior.

Nairda · Dec 26th, 2007, 10:33 AM

My Hot Choc Dooper is on order, with Black roof and C-pillars.
It was the only colour both I and OH could agree on

Hey Nairda, when's the Clubman due? Had the same issue in picking our colour! Looks very cool, glad we picked HC in the end.

Nairda · Jan 9th, 2008, 10:24 PM

Hi Capri. Well on the contract it's not due until until September

however the dealer said before Xmas that the build date has been brought forward and I can collect on 1 March

Picked up my clubman s in hot choc on saturday. Had a cooper from launch 2001, then s in 2003. This is the best one yet, perfect for my 6 and 4 year olds stretching legs, no more being kicked in the back for me!
Loving everything about it. Thought I'd miss the full leather of my previous s, but the cloth/leather looks so good in hot choc, along with the piano black and cream white interior. By the way, if anyone is thinking of speccing the PIANO BLACK, check out the SMALLPRINT in the spec pages of the brochure, it clearly states that piano black is standard.with other certain seats. I raised this with my dealer and got it for free!!!
Any problems so far?
Well the cooper the dealer leant me while I waited an additional month for my car ( anyone else experienced this) had a handy display on start up showing whether the kids were wearing their belts, and this isn't on my clubman, waiting for reply from dealer, will keep you posted...
Photos may follow if I can, but for now here is the spec:
Clubman cooper s
hot choc
black roof and c pillar
chilli pack
pace spokes
hot choc cloth leather and interior
cream white colour line
interior chrome

nothing else, nothing needed.

CapriGT · Jan 17th, 2008, 10:00 PM

In da Clubman, welcome to the world of hot chocolate, would love to see some pics when u get a chance.

Nice spec - am really liking Hot Choc on the Clubman - probs my second fave combo to PW/B, and think the pace spoke alloys are the best choice on the new new MINI. Shame they aren't available on the hatch, but nice to have some Clubman exclusive stuff

I love MINI, Laura · Feb 3rd, 2008, 03:04 PM

Saw a absolutely lovely Hot chocolate clubman today! Silver roof and silver viper stripes with chequered wing mirrors on the road today (similar to the one in the first post actually (no chequered roof though)). Gave the driver a little toot and a thumbs up while they were queueing to get into Gosport and I got a wave back! Hi if you're on here!

rhetoriq · Feb 19th, 2008, 10:41 PM

Another one here...

I've called my car Errol. If you can work out the link, high five me for the 80s. Anyway, I love mine. I'll take some photo's but it's essentially brown, with the full leather trim, chrome, etc. Silver roof and a silver backside. It's easier with pics so I'll do that later in the week when I'm free.

JustACooperClubman · Mar 25th, 2008, 04:53 PM
