My 2015 Midnight Black MCS with JCW kit (NYC)

Ordered on the 30 September and arrived in the US about 4 weeks later!

Over the next few weeks I'll be adding H&R spacers (12mm front and 15mm read), 50% tint, colour coded (note my UK spelling - I am an Englishman in NY after all) grill and light surrounds and then maybe a wrap on the beltline, door handles etc. I also have some Eibach springs that I imported from Germany but still not sure if I want to install them yet.

Options on the car are JCW interior and exterior, sports suspension (no cost option with the JCW exterior kit), Cup Spoke Alloys (only available with the JCW exterior kit), Wired and Wired Upgrade, leather, satellite grey colour line, piano black inserts , HK sound upgrade and finally rear parking sensors.

Hope you like! I love it

Nice!

Question... and maybe it's just the picture but did you modify your gear shift/****? Looks shorter than my stock shift/****.

nope - that's exactly as it arrived from the factory - it's a manual transmission (had to draw the line somewhere on options)

The JCW Interior Package has a different gearknob, and this car seems to have this package.

Very nice car

Congrats , the midnight black looks good with the JCW 5 spokes. Also black on white interior looks nice. Great contrast.

Thanks - I'm really happy with how it turned out. I was very lucky that I could cancel my EPA delayed car and reorder with the JCW pack and alloys as it really sets it off.
