Looks great! The hood scoop is going to be the first thing on my list.

Did you opt for the chrome grill surround instead of the black?

Thanks for the comments guys. R56JCW, I've thought about it.. I might do it. Then again, I'm afraid if I get the grill then in turn I will want to get the chrome headlight rings blacked out along with the tail light rings. Not to mention, the doorhandles as well. Want to leave some room for contrast oppose to darkening everything up..

Good point. Question for you though: did your aero kit come with the black grille and you decided to keep it chrome? Or are the kits coming with chrome standard now?

Yes, from factory I opted for the JCW package. Therefore, The grill came honeycomb style and black. As for my vehicle that came factory installed with the JCW package I would go on a limb here and say yes, It comes standard with chrome.

LOL,

I'm actually in the middle of preparing ribs and a feast for a BBQ. She's gonna have to wait a bit. I filled her up yesterday for the first time and had 6 miles left on reserve. I pumped about 14.2 gallons. My book says it has 13.2 gallons but I guess thats not including the 2.1 in reserves. In essence, I guess it has 15.3
