You definately want bonnet stripes if you get HB/W really adds a lot IMO. Wait till I spend my tax return money on some JCW side skirts!

Cool Blue
I love the Blues. My wife is sold on British Racing Green, white top and Bonnet stripes. Since its her car I have no say. Any pictures with this choice of colors would be appreciated. It,s an S with chrome.
Mine is still on order, but great thread! After seeing all these Hyper Blues, I know I definitely made the right color choice! Which was definitely a project, as I was totally torn and deliberated for hours on a color choice. This color is just so friggin cute!!!

Good idea i want to do that to mine too. I think its the camera angle and the lowered stance that do it for me, it may be the darker wheels too, im not sure. My car will look just like yours from the outside but with White S-lites to start. I do like those M7 springs, hows the ride? and where did you get that CF splitter?

I got my CF splitter from a private company way back then, but now umnitza and Webb Motorsport used to carry it, but after checking on it, I am not sure if they still supply it!
The M7 springs are $215 from us. The ride is much improved over stock, as is the handling characteristics. See http://www.m7tuning.com/main.m7/store/10008
I know this isn't a HB car, but this is probably the best picture of the effect our springs have. And a really good picture. This is JennB's totally hot Trixie.

I'm looking at getting some new rims and I'm trying to decide if anything other than white or silver rims look good on a HB/W, namely stuff like gray,dark silver,bronze, etc. The only example that I've been able to find is zerofighter with his R99 anthracites. Anybody else have any?

Great choice!
HB has energy as its name implies
(Psst, my see my sig for anthracite wheels on an HB - keep in mind it was overcast when evaluating the colors.)
