Is Mellow Yellow/White an option? I haven't seen one, yet.

Here's one. Personally, I prefer the black roof and mirrors and that's what I ordered.

Not anymore, thanks to you & JDR.
Thanks!

I like taking photos, so look for more beauty shots of this car, especially as it gets un-stock-ified. (Read: Lowered, tinted, bigger wheels, and maybe color-matched black parts.)

One way is to upload your pics into your member gallery and then copy the link into your post with the little button that looks like two pointy mountains with a dot (the sun?) on the top right. I think from the home page click on the "faq" link. Then click on "How do I include a picture from a gallery in a post?" It will show you the way

i have to admit, they're really growing on me. BUT, in those pix where an r53 sits next to an r56, the new car looks considerably larger

Roaduscarnivorous--it's an illusion. The length is only about 2 1/2" longer and the height difference is negligible. I think it's the same with the width.

I think its because of the design because I feel the same way but ive seen both models next to each other and there isnt a diff. really

It's not mine...

... but I had it to drive over this past weekend. Does that count?



I know it's a bit dirty. But it's been snowing here.

After putting 450 miles on it or so, I can say unequivocally it's a nice car. A very nice car. Wouldn't trade my JCW for it, but if it was between a regular R53 MCS and an R56 MCS, I'd opt for the new car, hands down.
