Well, Yesterday the wife decided enough was enough and bought herself a Clubman - Cooper S :smilewinkgrin:

Probably picking it up a week today (Monday)

Pure silver / Black roof - 07 plate (9000 miles) with a good few options on board.
Full leather / Chilli pack / Visibility pack / MFSW / Bluetooth / Chrome Line Interior / 17" Pace alloys / rear parking sensors.

I'm sure she'll be registering herself on here and showing it off when she picks it up.

Can't wait myself, although on a pure silver - what sport / viper stripe colour should she go for, i'm thinking like dark grey or something.
Answers on a postcard please!!!!!

I like the sound of a matt black stripe right over the car like Baz and Greig (copier of Baz) have. Think it would work with the roof and body colour

Very nice.

What about a contrast viper, so it's Black gloss on the bonnet, then pure silver over the roof and gloss black down the boot doors?

I'll be honest I tried it myself, but it was extremely difficult to do:blush:This is a definite mod I would have.

Good choice of car :thumbs up:. I'm in the minority for choice of stripe. I like the idea of matt silver stripes. Seen this but in checkerboard on another silver car. Subtle yet distinctive and very very nice. Also its a bit different since most owners of silver cars tend to opt for black. So many options though that your wife will have loads of fun deciding. Happy motoring :thumbs up:

Thanks for the kind words and support

I think we have decided to go with darker silver stripe - Probably a double sport / viper
I have yet to see any other pure silver car with anything other than black to be honest.

Got to get it right - this is going to be the car we will spend money on!!!!

Watch this space!!!

Yeah im pretty excited for you too. I remember picking up my Mini last May, and it was the first time i'd bought a car for the garage and when we sat down to do the paperwork and one of the guys took it round and parked it outside JC's windows i was like "I WANT IT NOW! 3 minutes is too long to wait!" lol!

Some folks don't understand this but there's few better feelings than the anticipation of getting a new car. Love it.
