Gorgeous

Shiny Black. It is like a swimming pool. You can see everything reflecting.

It's gonna look a true beauty when you you've applied the Chrome bits.

Kevboy, you a kevver?

Jason, the car in the forum header is SG, no?

For shame, not knowing your own header's color

Armen, it's my header and I'll say whatever color it is!!

I'm not positive what color it is, but it could pass for black. Whatever color it is, it looks good with the large 162's spinning on it.

MarkE90M3 · 05-27-2005, 01:03 AM

well just to defend J, I did the forum header, so its ok that he doesnt know; anyways, the forum header is infact SG, good eye Armen

Kev, youre not getting the chrome grill are you? The window trim and tint is going to make it look out of this world, (even though it already is), but i think you should leave the grill alone..the black is awesome against the clears lights...

Haven't even seen the chrome grill yet so not sure but I like the grill as is.

I think the chrome tailpipe is a good finish too.

Windows tinted and chrome around them is to follow and probably lower the car by 30mm to make the wheels stand out even more.

How is it to drive? OOH AHH!!!!!!!

It's a dream to drive! And yes I had a grin on my face the entire time I was driving around showing it off!!

Even the sales guys at the dealer were out looking at it as it was the first one they had seen with the 18's on it.........said it looked a very nice motor and they cant wait to see it with the chrome on too.

ipod was plugged into the aux socket as well..............tidy!!!!!!

Yeah Black Sapphire it is.

It also has the Super Guard protection on it inside and out which helps too.

*bows before almighty Jason*

Please don't smite me from the board.

I love me some 162's. They're always lookin' good.

abdulh · 05-27-2005, 05:29 AM

its crazy but i have done 1000 miles already in a WEEK!!!

thebigman · 05-27-2005, 07:02 AM

Absolutely stunning! Just what I’ve ordered! How are you finding the ride with the 18”? Is there much compromise from the standard 16”?

Arggggggggghhhhh waiting……..!!!!!

To be honest bigman from what I remember from the test drive in the standard 320 there doesnt seem to be any difference at all.

I drove up from Dundee with it yesterday, and admittedly I was only on 70 on the cruise control most of the way up, but even at 80 it handled like a dream. Even at the big bends just after Stonehaven it held the road brilliantly - stuck to it like glue.

A joy to drive!!
