I Love it...... maybe not enough to buy it, i but i still like it a lot!!!

Might be something to do with the aux driving lights?? Just what your cool blue needs!!

It does look good with that stunning back drop, we've a yellow mini one cab near us with black vipers and yellow dash and I have to say that doesn't look too good (my opinion only) but hey each to their own - it would be dull if we had to have the same colour. Still fancy a pepper white if it ever comes on line!

Take care

Just arrived yesterday!

SimonL · Oct 29th, 2004, 07:32 PM

Picked up my MCSC yesterday, nearly 3 weeks early...

Loving the experience, exhaust note is addicitive!, keeping below 4500rpm is going to be difficult!

Addsys - beautiful car. I almost went w/ the black/grey interior for my CB but didn't know how it would look. I am impressed with it's appearance, but promised myself I wouldn't keep changing my spec as it's sooo close to production start.

SimonL - the front quarter shot is stunning. I love the aggressive look of the car on the road from that angle. It almost looks like the front-end has been lowered a bit.

Congrats to both and happy topless motoring.

By the way for all of you with black and blue cars... YELLOW ROCKS!!!!!

next on the list is some nice chunky 18" wheels.

tom.

Wow--so glad to see a Yellow Cabrio...Mine is on it's way. Why do you suppose the pictures are so very different? The first one shows the yellow as very deep and rich...the other two are very light. WHich are closest to the actual color?

Peter...soon to be Mellow Yellow..in Denver

I find the LY to change hues depending on the lighting and what type of wax is used. You never know from day to day what depth of Yellow it will be. I love it.

Ok...does it lighten up of you use a sealer like Zaino which tends to reflect and get deeper if you use a carnauba wax?

Peter...preparing...in Denver

Color gets deeper with carnauba wax. You just have to maintain it more often.

This is more a topic for the maintenance thread...but...have you ever tried Collonite 476? I'm laying it down on a silver Buick this weekend...they say and others agree that it will stand up to detergents...that being the case it should last a lot longer under proper care.

Peter...I'm not a detailer but I play one at home..in Denver

I'll try anything once. How well does Collonite enhance the color?

Good Question...I'll be using it on Silver so no way to tell on this one...wait here for a minute I'll go check with the folks at Autopia

Ok...I'm back... go down the hall and check this discussion...

http://autopia.org/forums/showthread...ht=Colloni te

There are others but this one is probably the most concise.

All of Autopia is worth checking out though.

Jake273 · Oct 30th, 2004, 07:52 PM

Okay, this is my new convertible, picked it up last wednesday:

I am very happy with my choices (chrome int./ext./mirrors, CB dashboard, black roof).
It all fits together perfectly, can't wait until next summer
