I thought the same thing when I got mine...really solid...beyond expections and...I still haven't experienced the limits to how it can handle...I don't autox and on-road I get scared before I reach the limits! Even after 13k miles I still enjoy every time I get in to drive.

All the best!

Royal Grey here

I got a Royal Grey and almost went with black top. Would have been a waste of money. I put black bonnett stripes and they are invisible. I am going with white ones instead.

Nice color scheme. Post some day time shots when you get a chance.

nice - and a JCW to boot! that exhaust looks great.

Silver dash looks good too, esp with silver roof, etc.

funny how different the cars look with a chrome grill vs. an aero grill....
