Did you by chance get the black/gray roof graphic as well?

Are the side scuttles just adhesive? No need to do anything with the lights?

There is an access panel for each light inside the hood. You remove three screw caps and a flat plastic piece. After removing these, you depress a spring clip that allows the side marker to be removed. The side marker clips into the scuttle, which is then mounted with adhesive.

Thanks, djpic. I absolutely love the white silver. Got him waxed this weekend and he's really just a beautiful car. Also love that brake dust is a non-event on black wheels. Love my choice, think you will too.

Any chance you can post more pictures of your white silver F56? Interested in seeing more pictures since I am awaiting on my white silver S to arrive and haven't been able to find many photos of the color. I ordered the white silver/black roof and mirror combo :-)

Hopefully I got these pictures attached correctly. Some are pre side scuttles. I also had tint installed before I took delivery and I'm getting the blackjack rearview mirror cover put on this weekend. Coming from a black Countryman, everything about this little car makes me
