Marcus,
Congratulations !!!!
It's beautiful !!!
i ordered a lightning blue/blsck one and must admit, your red/black was also one of my options.
How's the engine?

At last! - I picked up my Astro Black Cooper yesterday afternoon

I sold my last Cooper over a year ago so it's difficult for me to offer a direct comparison, but the suspension does seem to absorb the bumps better. I had 16" alloys and sport suspension last time - I really wanted 17" alloys for the R56 because of the bigger wheel arches, so I opted for crown spokes and standard suspension. Add the chili options pack plus a multi-function steering wheel and that's my full spec.

No photos yet, but I will try to gather a few images at the weekend (when I finally get to see it in daylight!)

Pete

Who's next?

Those pics look stunning. Great colour, wheels, valet and well everything.

mister.t · Dec 18th, 2006, 07:45 PM

Those white flame spokes look awesome!!! Must admit I think that the crown spokes look good in silver, same to the old S Spokes IMO

rec · Dec 18th, 2006, 07:53 PM

looks like i'm the only one that went for the rear tints tho !
