I think it looks fantastic. At the same time I think it's an absolutely stupid proposition that will surely no doubt sell by virtue of it's uniqueness and exclusivity. Stupid because all of these "new" features (i.e. the rally green mirror caps) will no doubt eventually become additional accessories any MINI big spender will be able to opt for in the not so distant future. I must say though, I know I'd be "stupid" enough to buy one if I were in the position at the moment.

This is probably the first time I'll admit that the clubman looks pretty good.
