hi all,

06 MCS on the way :

CWP
LSD
Xenons
Fogs
OBC

Black/black - Patina - Grey lthrtte.

Its a bit of a cliche but I hope to take the slippery slope towards the 'dark side' blacking this car out.

About to order Anthracite Flik Wasps with 215/45s and will be looking at rear lights (black of course!), side lights, driving lights and window tint.

And have to figure out where to site my Phatbox...

Would like to lower the car but I cant due to the steep driveway of our house(!)

Anyway - this site looks pretty good - lots of info to be had. Hope to meet some people out and about once I get mine!

That is how I ordered MIB. Should be at D&R on Sunday!

Astro all the way

Yep Astro Black all the way...

This is going to be fun - Vin # came up on my tracking on Friday - should have the car in the 1st week of Jan...just in time for my birthday!!

Will also have it booked in at Dinan for a few tasty mods thereafter - nothing too outrageous. I drove a mate's 05 MCS that had the stage 1 software upgrade and exhaust - sounded like a rally car with lots of overrun 'popping' and much more urgency than a stock MCS.

Have questions about the rear lights but I guess I'll do some research over in the exterior mods forum!
