MINI UK has annoucned a Shadow Edition Countryman & Clubman for the UK market. The special edition is 100% cosmetic but what it lacks in mechanical upgrades it makes up for in visuals. In fact this may be the best looking special edition Countryman and Clubman to date in our eyes.
Made from a mix of Cooper S and JCW options and trim, the Shadow Edition adds a unique design to the interior and exterior that is one of MINI”s most aggressive cosmetic editions to date.
It’s unclear if we’ll see this edition in the US or European markets but if it happens, you’ll hear about it here first.

Based on the Sport trim level, the Shadow Edition exterior features include 19” John Cooper Works Circuit Spoke alloy wheels, John Cooper Works aerodynamic kit including John Cooper Works spoiler, and LED front and rear lights.
