The black interior is smashing! I have inquired about aftermarket black speedo/tach gauge face plates. About $125 for the parts and local euro mechanic quotes me $180 for the labor. A bit pricey, I think. I have no problems dismantling the tach, but the speedometer looks a bit labor intensive for my ability. Anybody out there with any experience doing this, or ideas?

no problem. I cant say enough good things about the quality of these parts- on that website, you will see a details tab that shows all angles of each of their parts... they occassionally pop up on ebay (which is where I first found them) at wholesale price.. they are in Korea but the man guy is fluent in English. He may be contacted @ james469@naver.com
Thanks again for the kind words

Congrats Thomas! I'm almost ready to order one too, just trying to decide on colors and options!
Anyone have pictures of White Silver with Chili Red roof? I saw some on the forums but I'd like to see more under different lighting.
Thanks and congrats again Thomas!

You'll love it when you get it though, regardless.

My S was a CPO. 2 and a half years of owning it, just gave me problems. Water pump, HPFP, Thermostat, Xenon headlights breaking, 1 engine replacement (this one was my brothers fault), chain tensioner, and then another engine needed. 2nd time around I decided the car was a lemon. I got a lawyer and won my case.

Thanks. As far as diff I'd say that I just love the options that my JCW came with. I'm still breaking it in but the car is very smooth. I'm not sure if I can compare since my S was CPO and it was a lemon. But I'd have to say that JCW is a whole'nother car.

Nice! Everything was wrong with it...water pump, HPFP, thermostat, timing chain, and it needed new motor after it was just replaced 11 months back. What was wrong with yours?
