beach pic

Took the new R53 out to the beach to watch the sunset and my wife slipped out and snapped this pic. I think it came out alright.

Very nice. Is that HyperBlue Metallic? It's a really good pic, nice composition and natural low angle light.

Myquite, beautiful photo the lighting is perfect.
I have to ask... I assume that your R53 is an 05-06, how did you get to fit an R56 roof rack? They look awesome but I thought that it couldn't be done. Thanks a million

I love sunrise/ sunset pics. The light is soft but strong, and give great effect.

It is an 06 with a r56 rack on it. I bought it that way. If you have a specific question about how it's mounted tomorrow, i'll get pics and explain whatever i can.

Thanks so much, I agree the golden light right begone the sunset is the best.
I wanted to buy an R56 rack for my 05 but I read that it was not going to fit, aren't secure enough to mount a bike on them? Yeah I would love any info that you have on how they mount any info that you have will be very helpful in my opinion they look so much better than the factory ones, I hate the idea of having to drill to mount them.

Tomorrow it's in the shop for an alignment and the "one-ball" mod. I'll try to get it out for a photoshoot in the afternoon. They are R90's plastidipped.
