Pure Silver Clubman Roll Call

[supa-dupa-cooper]

I know some of the launch spec cars were Pure Silver...my dealer had a pretty basic spec Cooper. And there is a Silver/Black Clubman that lives up the road from me

Have you ordered a Pure Silver Clubman? Waiting for one? Got one?


Found this funky Cooper on MINI Cherished (not a great pic though!) Is it me or does it look really high at the back this one?

[supa-dupa-cooper]

Doesnt look all that bad in Pure Silver actually

[mister.t]

PS would be my choice probably - If I was feeling brave - Hot Chocolate Brown

That 1st one does look high at the back - Mini SUV in the development stages??

Pure Silver / Black "S" being ordered tomorrow with following:-

Black Viper Stripes
Privacy Glass + fronts tinted
Sunroofs
Chrome Mirror Caps

Interior Punch Carbon Leather / Piano Black / Chrome Line/ Anthracite Roof Lining

Then a host of other extras to completely dent the budget :-)

I have a Pure Silver Cooper Clubman on order for March 1st. With Pepper pack. Only thing I am not 100% happy about is the black roof (I hate black on cars). But I wanted it immediately and this car was in stock at the dealer: did not want to wait months for a new factory order.

Then looking through the accessory catalogue I thought I had the answer: contrasting stripes (the two parallel ones, are they called Vipers?), would break up the black roof with silver stripes, and of course black stripes on the silver bonnet.

They are listed as £49.99 each including VAT, say £100. But my dealer wanted to charge £250 to supply and fit!! (Reduced to £200 when I said it was too much).

Can they really charge £150 to attach some pieces of vynyl? If so I think I must be in the wrong business.

Question is: you can buy them on the Internet for much less (under £30). Described as genuine MINI decals. Has anyone tried to fit them themselves? Is it easy (I would not want to ruin the paint!!) Are there any specialists who can fit the decals for me at a reasonable price?

We bought copies for a Cooper and they had to be removed after 6 months looked terrible all dull and bubbly. I would swallow the pill and stick with the real deal.

Can you post pictures of your car please as I have ordered same spec black vipers on bonnet & boot lids and silver across the black roof but I don't take delivery until late April

Thanks in advance

Reply to Daro 911:
Regarding the black/silver vipers you are having fitted (presumably by your dealer) how much are they charging? I might take your advice and bite the bullet, but as I said £150 or even £100 to attach vinyls seems a helluva lot to me. Nice though!

Yes, I will certainly post pictures of my car when I take delivery March 1st, and will also look forward to seeing pics of yours.

Vipers are a helluva a lot when compared to the factory fitted bonnet stripes at £60.00

But the Clubman S is costing me so much I thought what the hell add another £215.00 for the dealer fit vipers They did throw in TLC & Chrome Mirror Caps so if your dealer hasn't try and squeeze him for those stripes F.O.C.

[billy.batson]

Oh well...the wife has vetoed the stripes, and it's really going to be her car, so...it's going to be "plain" pure silver/black, after all.

Got some 17inch S Spokes now, looks far better than with 16inchers. Just need the JCW Areo kit now!
