I enjoyed watching your journey to get this car. I’ve been after a JCW Clubman since I rode in one at the track in SC at the end of MTTS 2022. I took delivery at the end of January of a 24 Rebel Green but with a red multitone roof. Congrats! Looking forward to seeing the mods you do and following along with my own car.
Awesome, beautiful car! I took delivery of my '24 Clubman JCW on March 9. What a joy to drive. I'm looking forward to your upcoming JCW Clubman videos.
I’m in the UK and have just taken delivery of my 2nd brand new Clubman JCW. My first was less than 3 years old when I traded it in, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get the last new Clubman. Mine is Enigmatic Black and I added a Chilli red roof, stripes and mirrors. I’ve also dechromed the beltline. I have subscribed to watch with interest what you do to your Clubby. I love how you love it. I won’t be making any performance updates. 301bhp is quite enough for me thank you very much 😉, but I’d like to share a few cosmetic changes that I’ve made which don’t cost a lot, but I think are cool. 1) Raised bonnet (you call it hood) scoop 2) Floating JCW wheel spinners 3) JCW Door striker covers 4) Darkened LED side indicators. 5) JCW logo door puddle lights all 4 doors 6) JCW logo leather covers for seat belt buckles 7) JCW accessory steering wheel. This came as a factory option on mine, but can be retro-fitted. It looks and feels awesome.
Congratulations - I have my '23 F54 JCW parked in "my space" in the garage - every time I go in to the garage for something I look at it and just smile. It's not the most expensive car or fanciest car I've ever owned but I really do love it and have built a connection with it more than most other cars I've owned over the past nearly 40 years of driving and car ownership.... The fun really begins in making it your own....
The Clubman looks great. Not a big fan of brown leather, but it suits that paint/interior combo. I wanted to update my 2016 S Clubman to a 2024 JCW, but didn’t do it. Hope you’re still enjoying this one.
I love that you love you MINI JCW so much. The Rebel Green looks fantastic especially with the white accents, and the leather tan looks awesome too; great combinations. I have a 2022 JCW Clubman and can’t get enough of it and, like you, plan to take care of the belt-line. Look forward to future videos on your fantastic new car.
Absolute DREAM Mini right there! Though I'd have to have mine in BRG! Unfortunately 24 is not the most ideal time to get into a dream car. However I still am blessed with my beautiful Island blue metallic '17 F60 S ALL4 for the family AND my '06 Astro Black Metallic R53 JCW for my commuting enjoyment! One day I will add a clubman to the Mini collection!
Looks amazing 🤩 love the multitone roof and the seats look great.. ive got a midnight black with same black seats jcw clubman which i freaking love. I bought it to replace a countryman f60 jcw white and haven’t yet brought myself to sell it 😂. Have fun
My wife decided her next Mini should be a 4 door. I went with her to test drive a 20 that turned out to be a JCW Clubman. She decided she would keep her Cooper S for now, but I fell in love with the car, except for the color scheme. I checked around and there was a Rebel Green 22 with the brown interior in the LA area. I flew down, bought it and drove it home to Seattle. On the way, I hit some of the great curvy roads in northern CA (Hwy 36 and 3). That was a bonding trip.
Please let us know how you like the Eibach springs. I have had progressive rate eibachs on other vehicles but I didn't go with them on my 2024 JCW Clubman because I found the shocks (especially the rear) to be poorly setup. The stock JCW sport suspension bounced badly on even slightly imperfect roads above about 50 mph. I have heard this complaint from others including JCW countryman owners. My solution was KW V3 coilovers and they are AMAZING. Completely solved the issue for me. At the stock recommended settings for compression and rebound and keeping the front at max height (1 1/8" drop) and the rear in the middle of the drop range (1" drop, light trimming of plastic fender required) it is super compliant and softer. We also own a 2019 Clubman S with adaptive suspension and the comfort level is similar, but better, more composed. You can tell the difference with the dampers instantly. I also like that the KW have progressive rate front springs. I wanted a good sporty feel, but I use it as a street car and don't care about track setup. If the eibachs don't work out I can highly recommend the KW V3. I didn't want V1 because you can't adjust it and V2 rebound can be adjusted but you have to remove the rear shocks to adjust them. V3 allow adjustments easily without removal. I didn't do an NM rear sway bar because I didn't really feel the need. With the compression adjustment I can tune out some more roll if I want. Enjoy it... amazing vehicle.
Are you looking at doing the replacement of the beltline trim or are you wrapping it? I was intimidated in replacing my trim on my '24 F56 JCW but after the first rear piece (which a little more "nerve racking") I realized that this was pretty easy. I just took my time so I wouldn't break any clips or scratch any paint and it looks great. Some argue that it's too expensive but I don't have to worry about it pealing or fading - in my book it's money well spent....
MINI doesn't make black belt line trim for the F54 unfortunately so the only choice is the wrap it which I finished earlier this week. If I could of I would have sourced the parts as you did.

Well done, a classy choice, the best colour combination I have seen.
Congrats, Gabe!

What a feeling! Congratulations Gabe, it's beautiful and I totally agree with you about how to choose a MINI.

Love your shades! Are these Jaques Marie Mage or Cutler and Gros?
Thanks. It's a small Italian brand: www.original-vintage.com/heritage-raw-hw01.html
