Car Spotlight>> Airride Clubman

I'm guessing all of you know that Mini is part of the BMW Group. So this Mini has all the right to be featured here during our BMW month. A girlfriend of mine drives one of these cars and I have driven one myself a few times, everytime it brings a smile to my face because of its perfect road going capabilities. This new clubman version belongs to user Retromini on VWvortex. He has been playing with Mini's before, but it was time for some extra space in the form of this new wagon. The tuning bug never stays dormant for a long time so he quickly decided it was time for a drop.

The drop has been made thanks to an airride system that found its way into spare tire well. The system consist of a 3 gallon tank, Viair 400 compressor and 2 easy street valves.

The wheels are a set of BBS RS in 16". As you can see the wheels are nicely tucked inside the wheel wells.

I really like the retro feel of this car, it isn't a typical ‘look at me' car but it surely will get you noticed. The owner is still working on the car, he is now in the process of deleting the reflectors under the rear lights. I know I'm going to keep an eye on this build.

That looks great. I like how the clubman looks dropped. It's really sleek with the longer roof line.

Nice fitment but the Clubman is a hopeless car IMO, nothing in the world will ever make it acceptable.

14

This thing is super stylee. How long before rootbeer brown is super played out?

15

First time i saw it i thought it was really ugly. but its starting to grow on me. does any one kno where to get shots of the interior; it looks uncomfortably small for a wagon.

16

Cool for a MIni Clubman, but new Minis are not mini and the clubman is an afterthought that didnt work out well. At all

Pictures don't do this car justice. The hot chocolate color is so deep. I've seen pics of some of his upcoming mods and they are amazing. Keep up the good work.
