  • Take an in-depth look around my new Mini JCW Clubman. I talk through some of the modifications and customisation I have planned, then take you for a drive and let you know if I regret cancelling my GP3. I end the film announcing the name I have finally chosen for my new wheels.

    I love the colour, spec and the name. I would just delete Clubman badge. Definitely agree on the tyres. Run flats are better than they used to be, but still like fitting steel toe caps on a running shoe.
    Be safe and do want you can 👍 we will be here with you.

      I removed the Clubman lettering after one month of ownership. I couldn't stand the 4-3. I keep the armrest cover open while charging. 18" wheels, no run flats, adaptive suspension on soft 90% of the time, always on Sport (and S/S off) with BimmerCode.

    Loving the car... I want one. Whilst we all love the content you bring to your channel, I’m more than sure that we would all understand should you not be able to provide your videos. We are in the middle of a global health crisis and these are unprecedented times, the main point here is keep you and your family safe. You have all of our support come what may. And to everyone of your subscribers, stay safe and we shall all get through this.

    • @PetrolPed

      Cheers Trevor. I need to keep the vids coming, even though add revenue is falling through the floor, to keep my amazing Peddlerz sane 😂

    Found your series about the JCW Clubman and have been enjoying your videos. I think the Clubman has great style and practicality and would like to test one soon. Keep up the good work and the updates on your Mini!

    Agree with the tyres. Ran the factory runflats on my JCW and it was like driving with no suspension. Very hard and also if you tried any spirited driving, it was like driving on ice. Couldn't get any grip. So I ran them on the JCW until they needed changing just to get my monies worth and immediately wrapped them in Pilot Sport 4s. Oh my god, the difference is incredible.

    Greetings from beautiful Washington State! I love your JCW Clubman video series so much that a placed an order for a 2023!
    I have been driving Jeeps most of my life, but your love for Minis comes through so well that it made me take a closer look at them. Next thing I know I was building Minis online, test driving them, until I finally placed an order.
    Now the waiting starts...😆

    • @PetrolPed

    When i bought my FK8 it put a massive smile on my face. When i get into my car now 18 months later it still puts a smile on my face, that's when you know its the right car. So i understand when you talk about putting a smile on your face. Have lots of fun in the new car Pete hope you and the family stay safe.

    @Robert-jl7pf 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I'm in the de-badge camp. If you're noticing the letters in chrome, it will be even worse in black. Regarding the de-chrome I'm probably in the minority as I don't mind the chrome. Get what you're saying about the other trim being black however I think a little chrome looks fine and it ties in with the polished faces of the wheels. Stay safe and enjoy the drive.

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Robert 👍

  • @leighmahoney5220
    @leighmahoney5220 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Love the spec, colours great. Agree that de-chroming those few bits will make a big difference. Love the videos, something great to watch at a crazy time.

  • @darrencottrell5541
    @darrencottrell5541 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Quality as per usual young Pete. Every video you do with the JCW Clubman reinforces my appetite to buy one in a few years time. The colour and spec of yours is awesome, a very wise selection Squire. My festidious radar can live with the 4 and 3 character badge oddity funnily enough as Mini seem to have it centred with the spacing. Badge deletion is by far your easiest option, but I'd be tempted to try a black set once you've completed de-chroming the window trims and door handles. In these troubling times, having channels and content like yours to watch is not only helpful but sincerely appreciated, so thank you. Your positivity and sincerity towards fans appreciated in equal measure. As we avoid social contact, where practicable, you could perhaps consider some content on a full tour of the switch-gear and onboard systems, practicality (loading), ownership costs and perhaps a lesson on cutting a good deal when buying a car. Just some isolation friendly ideas. I sincerely wish you and your family my best wishes as we go through this crisis and certainly hope like many others, self-employed/small businesses, you come out of the other side financially unscathed too. Your fanbase will be with you through this testing time of course. All the best.

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks Darren. Some great suggestions. I hope to put a simple video out this evening getting everyone together to see how as a community of Peddlerz we can help each other to get though this 👍

    Awesome video sir my eldest son who’s 4 watched this with me and loves the name. I’d just debadge your clubman. What a epic car sir Pete. Here in Michigan USA we’re on lockdown and out of work for 3 weeks. So I’ll have plenty of time to watch your videos with my kids. Thank u for your videos sir Pete

    Hi Pete. Keep up the videos. I think we may all need them!! So, the JCW. Totally agree on the de chrome. I would personally de badge the rear. As you say, once you’ve seen it!! Stay safe 👍

    @GM-mk3ep 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    My 2 cents worth. De badge it completely, it'll look much better. Plus take that silver sign off under the driver side, back light. Have it completely debadged on the rear doors. Keep up the great work & content!

  • @grahamknibbs5481
    @grahamknibbs5481 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Beautiful sounding F54. Loving the colour, I think it’s the best combo. I’ve de-chromed my 6 door handles, belt line and replaced the CLUB MAN to piano black, I think my 2017 F54 looks fab. The de-chrome is a must on your colour scheme, it will transform it visually and the stealth look with your privacy glass and lamp trims will mean it will look as good as it sounds.

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think so too. Thanks Graham 👍

  • @lorrainebeckett281

    Great vid. My wife has the Coupe SD and has de-chromed the whole car. Just a heads up PPed, the detailer found the belt line very tricky to do. Definitely worth it though. I’d de-badge the CLUBMAN, I did the same on my JCW Paceman and it looked so much better. Enjoy the car and stay safe......look after MamaPed 🙏👍

  • @sonts1423
    @sonts1423 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    With regards to the 'Clubman' on the back - I am a little OCD as well. My husband just called you me in a man suit!! Lucky I love him. With regards to the phone in the console - Like any battery or electronic device it needs air circulating around it to maintain a workable temperature. As there are no moving parts in a phone (fans and such) it requires good air flow around it. When your phone is enclosed in that small space there is no air flowing around it. You can overcome this issue by simply leaving the top of the storage area open. Short of the wireless functionality being in a cooled/ventilated area you will not overcome this issue.

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for this 👍

  • @jimbruce4348
    @jimbruce4348 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Agree with the OCD issue... Maybe you should replace CLUBMAN with PETROLPED, but with the "O" split in half. Maybe a C and a backwards one one either door or some brackets "(" and ")" or just have the "O" cut in half

  • @johns14a
    @johns14a 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A lovely car, especially in white 😉
    Dechromed, Clubman badge removed and decent tyres are deffo the way to go.

  • @DuaneCaldwell
    @DuaneCaldwell 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I recently ordered a Rebel Green Countryman JCW All4 (your review helped immensely, thanks!) with all the chrome bits except for the 19" wheels blacked out. I definitely think it looks best that way. i think removing the CLUBMAN badge letters from the rear would look best on your light-colored car.
    Now I just have to wait for the COVID-19 shutdown to end, so I can receive and enjoy my new ride. I'll have to continue living vicariously through your channel, so keep up the great work!

    • @PetrolPed

  • @BigRichyC
    @BigRichyC 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I’d de badge the rear chap, there’s no chance of mistaking what it is and your right I’d not noticed the odd layout. Re the phone, mine does the same in my XC60 to the point I can put it in my pocket after, try having the arm rest up and let the air get to it more I guess. Stay safe.

  • @simhoward5955
    @simhoward5955 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Great video Pete & most welcome during self isolation 👍🏻
    1. I’d debadge the back
    2. Is your phone in a case - if so try using it without to help with charging heat
    3. Did you keep the S4 or chop it in for the Clubman?
    4. Don’t forget to get black badges to replace the ‘All 4’

    • @PetrolPed
      @PetrolPed  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      1. Yep
      2. No, not in a case
      3. No, still got the S4
      4. Not thought of that 😜

    @itsjesgus 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Car looks really good mate! Ive had my JCW clubman for about a week now and one of the things that i have noticed is the tire noise from the 19" run flat tires. The loaner that i drove had the same rim and tire set up you had on your longtermer. I might change the tires aswell just to get the noise down just a bit.
    i went for the Starlight blue with black stripes. i love my new mini :D
    Keep safe in this strange times!
    Cheers from Sweden!

My Samsung S10 gets hot in the case when lead connected to Android Auto. 2 get graphics made up , same font as rear letters ,in red, split the middle letter across the doors. Wreck the contis then use those wheels for winter tyres. Keep safe.

    Never driven a new mini but must say due to your videos I’m tempted to take your model for a test drive. You’ve driven many great cars and I respect your opinions so it must be very good for you to praise it so much and actually buy one. Love the name and reference to Top Gun too 😉

  • @michaeldeckert6023
    @michaeldeckert6023 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Ordered mine with all black badging, emblems and Clubman name. All4 as well as light surrounds also black . Only badging "standard" is the JCW on rear and scuttles. Did have black door handles ordered also. Since they were back ordered when mine was being built, Mini assembly didn't put them on. They took them off the order and built the car with chrome ones . My Clubman is enigmatic black. Solid black roof and mirror caps. Hood scoop is a Mini JCW carbon fiber scoop instead of same as car color. Have black 18" wheels ( like you self centering caps).So I do appreciate that chrome belt line and door handles to break up the all black. Interior all black too . Ordered black lounge leather instead of the JCW seats. Like the feel (smell) memory adjustablity. The choices were many and I think I got most? Pretty much locked down here in the San Francisco area. Have my car since November and still only 2100 miles. Will be big road trip in my future. Stay safe and thanks for a great channel.

    Will be buying the jcw clubman very soon the only thing that worried me was there wasn`t a spare tyre so i would have the run flats unless you know of a way round that problem. Love the video thanks.

    • @PetrolPed

      Runs flats or proper tyres and a can of gunk ;-)

  • @jorgenieto3428
    @jorgenieto3428 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Pete, I have the same problem with the wireless charging pad. I had read that it happens when you are using both Wireless Carplay and the wireless charging pad. It also happens to my dad in his new X5 so the best solution is to connect your IPhone with the charging cable.

  • @deepakvvs
    @deepakvvs 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I would assume that debadging would be easy and can be done anytime. You may want to blacken the letters and wait for a few weeks first. Wireless charging does generate a lot of heat and coupled with that closed armrest with no ventilation might be taking the temperature beyond the tipping point.

    Can’t be doing with the run flats, hate them !

  • @terryjennings8922
    @terryjennings8922 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Pete, I have the identical model to yours, same spec and colour, I absolutly love the car. What I cant understand the only difference is the tyres, mine was first registered in November 19 there was no option on run flats it came with Continential tyres plus a puncture repair pack with liquid injection sealer. I would have gone for run flats if I had the option.

    Great name for the Clubbie. It’s great to have a stablemate fir Ruby Roadster. And also great that Ruby is staying, after all the work you did to her.
    The Clubman is my favourite F series MINI. Would definitely debadge the Clubman name from the rear doors. It’s a much cleaner look.
    Enjoy the new car. And stay safe.

    Hi Pete, love Charlie looks great! I,m also disappointed in the tyres on my clubman JCW 19" but shod in Bridgestone portenza s005 seem ok but not a patch on the pilot super sport 4s I had on the countryman JCW. Least there not run flats !!! Keep up the great work 3-4 weeks of lock down so need something good to watch. Stay safe

    Hi ,I Love your New Mini ( Charlie ) as you suggested swapping the Hard riding run flats to improve the ride , Ive just swapped from Pirelli P Zero run flats to Goodyear Asimetric 3 normal tyres on my F56 Cooper , and OMG WHAT A DIFFERENCE, its like a different car .Quiet , softer and no longer Crashing on every tiny bump . Hope you get to change yours soon it will definitely be worth the cost. Ps love the daily vlogs , it's a go to after work. Thanks Paul and stay safe ☀️☀️☀️☀️

    Glad you're enjoying your Clubman. I'm also unsure about the Continental R/Flats on the 19" alloys on ours. I'll probably switch to P-Zeros when I need to change them since they're available in a matching size as run-flats. I've had them on my Leon Cupra 300 (which the Clubman replaced) and a BMW 5-Series and they were superb. Keep up the good work! (Nice choice of colour on yours - we have the same...!)

    Hello again Peter! Your videos make me want to buy a Clubman simply because of your delight with them. As for the chrome/black, I have to admit that I like chrome when used carefully so I probably would leave the belt line and handles but the rear “CLUB MAN” badge needs some thought...how about replacing it with a “CHARLEY” decal in black with identical font and size to go on one door? I will have a better look at one when we are allowed out...let’s hope it is not too long though.🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻😳😀😀😀

  • @sandygarage3802
    @sandygarage3802 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like the mods you suggested. Doing the de-chroming yourself will be a good learning experience, & satisfying when it's done. If Mrs petrol ped will be using the car often; keep the mods within what she would be comfortable with.

Mini doesnt offer beltline delete yet so, bought that from mini bitz. Got the dealership to fit it all before collecting it at the end of Feb.

      Nina B mine is the DCT auto transmission too. I have saved the link to Mini Bitz. Have you got the front grille surround black too?
      My car was supposed to be with me on the 2nd March on a 20 plate but the Friday before the Monday I was due to collect, I got a phone call from the dealership saying on all the paperwork it was spec’d as a DCT auto... but the salesperson hadn’t clicked it on the computer. She went to fuel it up & check it over...and found it was a manual. They’d had it almost a fortnight and not noticed. Thankfully they ordered another for me and I picked it up Monday 23rd March so it was only 3 weeks later than I expected.
      I now hope to book a trip to the factory at Oxford, once this Corona🦠 has cleared off.

    I’m glad you bought the Clubman JCW! I was on the list for a gp3 and decided against it to replace my 2018 Mini Clubman JCW with an ordered 2020 MINI Clubman JCW which I received in October of 2019! I love this JCW the best and I’m glad I purchased it as the GP3 was just too weird with the side spats as well as day to day usability. My iPhone also overheats in the wireless charger and my 2018 had same issue.

    Great to see you enjoying the new car Peter, love the colour (same combination I had on my JCW Coupe). That was fitted with Conti’ runflats = exactly as you described them. Personally I would do a badge delete on the rear doors and yes to de chrome at the waistline. I don’t know if the door mirrors are the same as the 2017/2019 F56 but I have a pair of unmarked genuine JCW Chilli Red & “Carbon Fibre” in the original boxes that would look great. Talking about the door handles, you can buy Carbon Fibre covers for the early F56 cars but I don’t know with regards to your car as it looks like you have the black rubber button for keyless entry.
    Enjoy Charlie & stay safe mate, we Pedallers will be here.
