I can remove the dealer badge with some waxed dental floss, perhaps when I'm off again I'll do just that. I agree the Moritz emblem needs to go.

Great stripes on that Sparkling Silver! You're making my own stripe decision
even harder by adding the red pin stripe.

I took these pics after swapping out the grill and side scuttles with some help from my 10 year old daughter.

A mountain refresh.

mnimule, looks really nice, I like those wheels. Only 1/2 inch or so down would make the look.

I have not had a good picture of my R56 up here lately, so today I took one which is shareable.



Taken near Pine, Colorado on a little drive today.

Thanks. Yes they are Black Jacks. I thought with the Union Jack roof it would be fun to have people wonder exactly what the scuttles are until they get closer.

Unfortunately I am having problems getting pics to show up on the page.

Me thinks your lighting experiment was a resounding success! An aspect of photography I have yet to explore.

Cadent that looks great. I have a DS/W on the way! Did you do the beltline yourself? How hard was is to put the black on it?
