    Found out today that all MINI Clubman models produced from January will include roof rails as standard.

    They are tring to enhance the versatile utility purpose of the vehicle. Dealers have been told to promote the models in showrooms with bikes/skis on the roof

    Post Amended - Should be Roof Rails and not Bars

    I'd prefer it if the spoiler was standard. Still surprises me that I didn't clock it wasn't when Dougall was speced (by dealer) with a chilli pack.

    Dear Lord, If you wont make me skinny, please make my friends fat-very Fat.

    I assume that we are talking about roof rails that run from front to back and not the bars that fit across the car? I've seen both types in photos - rails , bars .

    I'm not a big fan of the Clubman spoiler, I think it looks out of place and doesn't compliment the overall shape of the car. Looks like a shopping trolley handle, IMHO of course !
