Looks great

Looks like what I've just ordered, I've been trying to find pics of a black MCS without aero kit - finally got some

I had the same problem... ordered this one 3 months ago and I just couldn't find good pictures of a astro black MCS...

When I finaly get the car (next friday) I'll make more pictures (if you have special requests just let me know)...

Same problem I had with Sat Nav (even my dealer couldn't show this to me since this was the first one they sold with the buildin Sat Nav)

by the way the interior is with brushed alloy

We took delivery of our new Astro Black MCSa today, to replace our manual version. Otherwise same spec, other than sunroof. Well pleased, so far, but will report again when we have a few hundred miles on the clock.

Oooo... that black looks good. For some reason black is really starting to appeal to me and I have never liked black cars in the past. It's hard to read all these threads though because every time I do want to go down to the dealer and order myself one...

BTW, all R56s, especially in black, scream to have the chrome grill surround to be replaced with a black one. The chrome makes it look less aggressive, IMO.

I agree, the chrome looks out of place IMO - the aero kit grill looks alot better. I think astro black with aero kit looks great (I would say that having ordered an aero kit y/day )

Very nice!

That's the exact car (without looking at the specs) that I will be ordering later this month! How long did it take for you to get yours? Can't wait to see your option list.
