Not sure if it's needed. This is usually a top 10 thread, I've never even seen it leave the first page! That said I certainly wouldn't be against it. Shows how proud we all are of our beauties.

It's not needed given the popularity of the thread.

My R56JCW all ready for winter with S-Lites and Dunlop Wintersport M3's.



That was before the car went into the shop for an undertermined period of time .

Looks like I'll be facing winter in a service loaner Cooper convertible!

^^Sweet! Can't wait to get mine tinted when I get back later this month. Makes a huge difference.

Look pretty dark. What percentage is that?

I believe it is 15% I wanted it dark but not limo tint dark (5%). This was a step above limo.

Very nice! Tint restrictions here in PA are ridiculous... You're definitely lucky.

New to the forum and am really enjoying all the discussions here.

Got my R56 in Fort Lauderdale day before Christmas and drove it a few days. I had so much fun with it that waiting for the auto transport to bring it out to Los Angeles (where I live) is excruciating!

Looks great! I like the stripes. You should have driven it out to CA yourself! Ok, you probably have a good reason like not enough time to do it...

We just go rain, but a weather monitoring station on Chews Ridge reported a 71 mph gust shortly before it ceased functioning.

Here is ours ...





We named her the "Silver Phantom" and gave her a number of "82". We picked up the car in 12/08/07 and the car was manufactured on 11/07. Here is the story https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d.php?t=124721

Cheers,
Roberto

ggooden - Very nice! I'm normally one more for de-chroming, but your exterior chrome line looks great with LiB/W.

morelli - Sweet! Love the crown spokes, JCW aero and checkers. DS/B is quite a sharp combo.

Chuck W. - LB, my second color choice. Looks incredible with the Mach V Springs! How are you liking them thus far???
