    Swapping over to the winters. Going to be leaving for Ft. Leavenworth for two weeks come Sunday morning. Till I get back, the weather should be appropriate.

    Agreed. But it is going to be hard time.

    WooHoo!

    Picked up the car today and it looks great. While I was there they installed the new scuttles and mirror covers. I like the way they look. Since they were replacing the grill, I worked with my dealer who was supplying the parts to provide the red bar grill instead of the chrome S grill at no additional charge.

    This is a CPO car that one of the dealer employees had on a short term lease. It had a little over 5K miles when I got it. The picture of the rear with the white "accent" is the way it looked when I got it. Why anyone would paint that white is beyond my ken. I had it painted body color on the dealer's dime while it was in the shop. Looks much better now.

    Thanks. I'm still undecided about red hashmarks on the fenders like I had on my R56. Going to wait until I have the racing stripe installed first, but I have to wait at least sixty days for the paint to cure before that can be done. The calipers will be painted sometime before next summer. Maybe by then Rota will have the RB wheels to fit the F5x.

    RB - ROTA Wheels

    Just finished installing my US Millworks front license plate mount. They're a bit pricey, but a quality piece.

    Well, it wasn't today; but I traded my R53 in for a R56.

    Went from a black on black R53 to a Spice Orange with black top and mirrors R56. I am extremely happy with the switch, I actually fit in the R56! If there was anything at all different about the car, I highly doubt I would have made the switch. JCW exterior and interior packages, premium package, sat nav, cold weather package. It only has 23k miles on it compared to the 103k on the R53.

    Hashmarks and racing strips might be a little much.

    I love my R56 :Thumbsup:
    Passed up an R53 due to an owner thinking it was worth more than it was.... Glad he was stubborn, cuz I couldnt be happier! Well I could be but that involves about 100 more hp and thousands of dollars :cornut:
