R57 in Colorado

Hello all.

I'm a "newbie" I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself; since i have no other choice. ;-) Looking forward to getting some info and help with some minor items with me whip..

with my JCW wheels.. not the original black ones. (hate black wheels)

Welcome, I feel like I don't see many Grey Cabrios so I like it. And the black headlights and trim rings look great, go for our black grill trim and it will clean it up even more.

Thanks. It also has the black gauge faces. I was thinking about a black grill; but... the GF likes the chrome there.. so i will compromise for now. ;-)

Welcome, i think the R52 and R57 look so much better with a stubby antenna. My R52 has the ECS one.

Very nice! I don't know about you but I cannot keep my top up. Drove home, at night, @ 42 degrees (temp rose to 54 eventually) over an hour... :D My daughter and I sort of had a competition... "who would give in first." Neither of us did. :D
