Aloha!

Though we've had a R56 in the family for awhile (it's my daughter's), I decided to get an F56S as a daily driver so that I could give my other car a break. And I'm loving it.

It's stock right now, but I'll probably be performing some modifications to it in the near future.

Aloha,


Reposted it a bit bigger for you. Nice to see a matching roof color.




What mods do you have in mind ?

Thanks!

In terms of mods, I'm currently blacking out chrome bits as a start (light rings, gas cover, door handles), but I think my first major mod will be to upgrade the suspension. While the stock system is comfortable, I prefer a stiffer, lower setup, and will probably be considering the JCW Pro Sport Chassis since it offers the amount of drop I want without making the ride harsh. After that, I may go all in on a JCW Tuning Kit or just run with a Remus exhaust and possibly a JCW Aero Package.

My real problem is trying to keep things relatively stock, since it's my commuter car and the fact that I have my other car for modding.
